- Variety shows
- Standup comedy
Exhibition entertainment
There is another form of entertainment that is often provided through live presentation which is exhibition entertainment. The most common subcategories that come into this field are:
- Amusement parks
- Museums

Each of these forms of entertainment has its own uniqueness. What they do have in common is that they all have performers in some form.
In the case of exhibition entertainment, the performers come in the form of those who are responsible for the venue. For example, in the museums, it is the curators. In amusement parks it is those that run all the different venues that make up the totality of the amusement park itself.
Individuals will form their own likes and dislikes when it comes to these various forms of entertainment. This is what makes it so exciting. Each category within the entertainment industry strives to become popular and to be able to attract the audiences they need in order to have a successful performance.
