Hi,any help is appreciated here!
Typical for China is crosstalk,where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play.
Can we use "in which"to replace "where" in this sentence? By the way, I don't think "in which" fits in well here. Am I right?:roll:
 
Please reduce your font size.
Thanks.

What about "whereby"?
Typical for China is crosstalk, whereby a pair of comedians entertain[STRIKE]s[/STRIKE] the audience with word play.

However, I believe "where" is also correct.

Important: I am neither a teacher nor a native speaker.

P.S: I'm not sure about "in which"...

Cheers!
 
How about:
Crosstalk, where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play, is typical/a typical type of comedy in China.

There is nothing wrong with the sentence order.The original sentence is an inversion.Thank you any way.
