  Comments:
Previous entry (“comic interlude”, as given in GG5) was misleading, dare I say *wrong*? 大辞林 gives a very clear and detailed definition.

Aikyōgen is not a comic interlude, but is a brief, dramatic, generally *expositionary* section within a noh play.

I didn’t catch this earlier and got confused because kyōgen co-occurs with noh in *2* ways: as a separate (comic) play, *between* noh plays (this is just called “kyōgen”), and as a scene *within* a single noh play (this is what aikyōgen refers to, as the 国語辞書 make clear).

This was clarified to me b/c I went to a noh performance today, and both these occurred, with only the (very serious, not at all comic) scene *within* the noh play being referred to (in the program) as “aikyōgen” (as in the 国語辞書 and as I’ve corrected it here).

I’ve gone into rather more detail over at WP:
