 | | Lazzi (from the Italian lazzo, a joke or witticism) is a bit of well-rehearsed comic action used in the Commedia dell'arte. |
 | | During improvised performances a lazzi may be used to fill time or to ensure a certain frequency of laughs in a show. |
 | | For practical purposes a lazzi may be any bit of business that may be easily recalled and performed in another situation, somewhat like a catch phrase. |
