Injection moulding?

Hmm... no. I just can't think of how the injection moulding business could be meaningfully similar to show business.

I'm sorry, but I just can't think of how any of these businesses are really similar to show business.

I'm starting to think that show business really might be a unique sort of business - that there might not be any comparable businesses at all.

I was going to suggest a business that I deemed similar to show business but hey presto it was just show business with a different name so it doesn't count.

Well, there is noh business like show business. In the sense that there is Italian food like pasta and pizza.

Being an effete and impudent snob, I naturally make a distinction between theatre and showbusiness, in much the same way as I differentiate between film and movies

There's snow business.  That could be seen as at least partially connected to show business.
