“physical comedies”？ what‘s the meaning?
Physical comedy is comedy like that of a Clown, relying on falls and bumps and accidents to generate laughter
Slapstick is a type of broad physical comedy involving exaggerated, boisterous actions (e.g. a pie in the face), farce, violence and activities which may exceed the boundaries of common sense
Here is an extract from Wikipedia:
Comedy may be divided into multiple genres based on the source of humor, the method of delivery, and the context in which it is delivered: for instance, standup comedy, improvisation, slapstick. The different forms often overlap, and most comedy can fit into multiple genres. Some of the sub-genres of comedy are farce, comedy of manners, burlesque, and satire

A physical comedy is one where the humour is a result of physical actions. So things like slipping on a banana skin or being hit with piece of wood but in a manner that is amusing. Slapstick is the same sort of thing, it generally involves people being hit or falling over or things falling on them or them tripping over things. Things like Monty Python and the Holy Grail would be a slapstick film and if you can find clips of the Three Stooges, this is classic slapstick and physical comedy.
