Nuts Entertainment (new full title: Nuts Entertainment Just 4 Play) is a sketch comedy television show in the Philippines aired every Thursday evenings by GMA Network (replacing Songbird to Saturdays). The show is part of the network's GMA KiliTV block.

The show is very popular for its unscripted, spontaneous and off-the-wall party games between two teams of cast members with guest celebrities and audience participants. The party games proved so popular that the sketch comedies were completely dropped to give more time to the games themselves. The games have even evolved from being just played in the studio to popular tourist resorts around the country and done in a sort of "Amazing Race" fashion. Other popular segments of the show is Balakubak : Balita At Kuwentong Bakla, a no-holds bar celebrity hotseat interview portion, and Jack en Poy, a pie-throwing and water balloon battle between two teams of ordinary groups of citizens led by the gays Cookie and Belli based on the outcome of the game of Rock Paper Scissors.
