'Entertainment' is an event, performance, or activity designed to give pleasure or
relaxation to an audience (although, for example, in the case of a
computer game the "audience" may be only one person). The audience may participate in the entertainment passively as in watching
opera, or actively as in computer games.
The playing of
sports and reading of
literature are usually included in entertainment, but these are often called
recreation more specifically, because they involve some active participation beyond mere leisure.
The industry that provides entertainment is called the
entertainment industry.
