Type of comedy (9)
I believe the answer is:
slapstick
'type of comedy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for slapstick that I've seen before include "Crude form of comedy" , "Unsubtle comedy" , "unsophisticated humour" , "Simple comic act" , "Boisterous comedy based on actions rather than words" .)
