Stand Up Comedy
  • Stand-up comedy is generally delivered by a solo
    performer speaking directly to the audience in
    some semblance of a spontaneous manner.
  • Stand-up comedy as art is difficult to define
    because it contains so many elements of other
    performance genres. Old American stand-up
    comedians are similar to actors both perform
    monologues, work on stage, and use their voices
    and bodies to convey stories and ideas to their
    audiences. Old stand-up comedians also share many
    traits with orators each speaks to the audience
    directly and attempts to build a rapport with it.
    Stand-up comedy even has close connections to
    music performance a fluid stand-up monologue can
    draw comparisons to a jazz musicians'
    improvisational riff, both artists have mastered
    the art of timing. However, several distinct
    traits define stand-up and set it apart from a
    play, lecture, or concert. The setting in which
    standup takes place, the conversational nature of
    its performance, and the comedian's intent as a
    performer make stand-up comedy an art form
    uniquely well-suited for challenging the
    audience's social beliefs and ideas.

Best Stand Up Comedians USA
  • Stand-up, at least in the form it is known today,
    is a fairly recent entertainment phenomenon. In
    the United States, where it developed first and
    reached its greatest popularity, old American
    stand-up comedians had their origins in the comic
    lecturers, such as Mark Twain. He toured the
    country in the 19th century. It began to emerge
    as populist entertainment in vaudeville in the
    early decades of the 20th century.
  • The old stand-up comedian who probably did the
    most to make stand-up comedy a staple of American
    popular comedian entertainment was Bob Hope, a
    British-born former vaudeville song-and-dance
    man. Hope, an admirer of Fay, developed an
    engaging rapid-fire style as a vaudeville emcee
    and, beginning in 1938, as host of his top-rated
    radio program.
