{{Short description|1=Overview of and topical guide to entertainment}} <!--... Attention: THIS IS AN OUTLINE part of the set of 830+ outlines listed at [[Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines]]. Wikipedia outlines are a special type of list article. They make up one of Wikipedia's content navigation systems See [[Wikipedia: Outlines]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines]] for more details. Further improvements to this outline are on the way ...--> The following [[Outline (list)|outline]] provides an overview of and topical guide to entertainment and the entertainment industry: '''[[Entertainment]]''' is any activity which provides a diversion or permits people to amuse themselves in their [[leisure|leisure time]], and may also provide [[fun]], enjoyment, and laughter. People may create their own entertainment, such as when they spontaneously invent a game; participate actively in an activity they find entertaining, such as when they play [[sport]] as a hobby; or consume an entertainment product passively, such as when they attend a performance. The '''[[Show business|entertainment industry]]''' (informally known as '''[[show business]]''' or '''show biz''') is part of the [[tertiary sector of the economy]] and includes many sub-industries devoted to [[entertainment]]. However, the term is often used in the [[mass media]] to describe the mass media companies that control the distribution and manufacture of mass media entertainment. In the popular parlance, the term ''show biz'' in particular connotes the commercially popular performing arts, especially [[musical theatre]], [[vaudeville]], [[comedy]], [[film]], [[fun]], and [[music]]. It applies to every aspect of entertainment including [[film|cinema]], [[television]], [[radio]], [[theatre]], and [[music]]. {{TOC limit|limit=2}} == Types of entertainment== === Exhibition
