Comic timing

For broader coverage of this topic, see Chronotope.

Comic timing or comedic timing is a performer's joke delivery as they interact with an audience using intonation, rhythm, cadence, tempo, and beat to guide the comedic narrative. The pacing of the delivery of a joke can have an impact on its effect or change its meaning. This can also be true in physical comedy.
