Stand-up comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fathers of stand up comedy were the "masters of ceremony", as they often were referred to as, of the golden age of radio broadcasting. Many stand up stars landed major television deals, and established television and film stars such as Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, and Billy Crystal tested their comic chops with live stand up comedy appearances. American stand-up comedy has its roots in various traditions of entertainment popular in the late 19th century, ranging from vaudeville and humorist monologues (with Mark Twain a notable master), to Yiddish theatre and circus clown routines. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stand-up_comedy   (1707 words)

glbtq >> arts >> Comedy: Stand-Up, Gay Male Stand-up comedy is a form of entertainment where one performer stands in front of an audience and tries to make common cause with that audience by pointing out the ridiculous and humorous in the universal problems of everyday life. In the comedy clubs of the 1980s, gay comics began both to challenge and to embrace gay stereotypes. They can also be part of that unfairness by using humor to make fun of women, gays, and ethnic groups, allowing some members of their audiences to feel superior to those who are the butts of the joke. www.glbtq.com /arts/comedy_standup_gay.html   (824 words)

Hack Stand-Up Comedy FAQ - hack.txt [01/01] Observational Comedy was pioneered by Carlin in the 70's and brought to life in the 80's, an era where no topic was too mundane and "the little things in life" became more appealing than "The Big Picture". Art is always reinventing itself and comedy is no exception ("Good Evening, Ladies and Germs!" used to be funny!) It's the next generation's responsibility to determine comedy's direction and I wish you all good luck in that endeavor. Set up a character that's really obscene and then say, "Okay Rabbi, calm down!" Describe a very masculine group and top it off with "...and that's just the women!" If you have one of these, make sure the gag is better hidden. www.faqs.org /faqs/comedy-faq/hack   (3660 words)
