Entertaiment can be a way to break up the monotony of work and everyday life. People can go to open mic nights and see others put on acts or try their hand at entertaining themselves by telling jokes or singing songs. Often, entertainment is inspired by other forms of art such as the story of Scheherazade from the Persian professional storytelling tradition that has been inspiring musical works by composers like Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski and film and innovative video games.
