"Il comico (Sai che risate)" is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Cesare Cremonini.[1][2] It was released on 20 April 2012 through Universal Music Italy and Trecuori srl, as the second single from his fourth studio album La teoria dei colori.[3][4][5]

Composition

The song was written and produced by Cremonini himself with Alessandro Magnanini.[6][7] In an interview with Rockol Cremonini explained the meaning of the song[8]

"It is an autobiographical song, the whole record is. Looking inside yourself is not a due act. If you do it, it is to share it with someone. If you look for that thing that is yours, personal, you have to look for that thing that can be universal, that applies to others. That's when the song becomes unity among people, magic for everyone, a chorus in a stadium."
