Ludicrous situation (5)

I believe the answer is:

farce

'ludicrous situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for farce that I've seen before include "Broad comedy" , "Theatrical comedy" , "Rookery Nook?" , "Absurdity" , "eg 'Noises Off'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
