Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-up comedy is a different brand of comedy. There is usually a live audience and the comedian (stand-up comic) will talk to them directly. They use a microphone and stand up the entire or at least for most of the show.
The performances only last a short time and the comedian will tell stories to make people laugh. These are called one-liners and short jokes. They are usually doing the show by themselves (monologue). The comedians usually perform their shows in comedy clubs, colleges or theaters. They will do their shows wherever they can.
