In the active - voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action. In the given passive - voice sentence "Before the main performance, the audience was entertained by a comedian", the doer of the action 'entertaining' is the comedian and the receiver is the audience. To convert it to active - voice, the comedian should be the subject performing the action on the audience.

Before the main performance, the comedian entertained the audience.
