    Comedy has a classical meaning, comical theatre and a popular one, the use of humor with intent to provoke laughter in general. In the theater, its Western origins are in ancient Greece. Humor being subjective, one may or may not find something humorous because it is either too offensive or not offensive enough. Comedy is judged according to a person's taste. Some enjoy cerebral fare such as irony or black comedy; others may prefer scatological humor (e.g. the "fart joke") or slapstick. A common gender stereotype that plays on this convention is that men love the comedy of The Three Stooges, while women do not. There are several venues in the UK that are specifically dedicated fro comedy. Most of them are located in London and one in both Birmingham and Nottingham.
