	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.
		There is currently rennaissance of sorts occurring in the comedy world, with younger comics (often between the ages of fifteen and twenty nine) finding their way on stage and becoming the norm, evolving the art form in a new direction for a new age.

	Stand-Up Comic
		There wasn't much money to be made doing stand-up in those days, and she often slept in filthy "communal condos" with the other comics on the bill - mostly male.
		They'd pick up women at the bars, bring them home, and have sex in the rooms next to mine.
		One step up from playing the comedy clubs is getting to open for other entertainers, either on the road or in cities like Las Vegas or Atlantic City.

	Woody Allen - Standup Comic
		So I pick up this girl, I was very glib, and she was a brilliant girl, she was a Bennington girl, studying at Bennington to be a woman male nurse at a four-year program, working on a term paper on the increasing incidents of heterosexuality amongst homosexuals.
		We used to go up to her apartment late at night, and all her beatnik friends would be sitting crosslegged on each other there, and they would be trying to make opium out of the poppies given out by veterans on street corners.
		I'd just passed the ad up and a month later I'm leafing through a Life magazine, and I see a photograph of Monique van Vooren in a slim bikini bathing suit, and she is on the beach in Jamaica, and there, next to her, with a cool vodka in his hand, is my rabbi.

	So You Wanna Be A Stand-Up Comic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Take up something dignified, like being a drug mule; compared to comedy, chronic masturbation is a fruitful pursuit.
		There are also a very few well adjusted comics who, despite the odds, somehow turned out funny, but these freaks are as rare and mysterious as gay republicans.
		A comic plays a vital role as a sexual icebreaker for new couples on dates, and married couples who’d like to spice up their sex life but haven’t worked up the nerve to start peeing on each other.

	The Hack FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		A ton of comics move to Los Angeles to pursue a television or film career and write a lot of material based on the little differences between LA and their former place of living.
		Mostly comics just do a poor characterization of a Middle Eastern/Hindu and throw in a couple of cheap shots about Slurpees or a dot on their forehead and leave it be.
		When comics deny their homophobia or racism before a joke, you can be sure that they are trying to soften the blow of one of the most homophobic or racist jokes you'll ever hear.

	Jeff Allen Goes 'Bananas' as Christian Stand-Up Comic
		At an absolute low, with Tami taking their two boys to spend the summer away from him, Jeff picked up one of the tapes that had been accumulating.
		And Jeff says every phone called ended with the same assurance that the man and his wife were praying for Jeff and his family.
		I’ve been a comic for 20-plus years, and right now I’m having the time of my life.

		In fact, Comic Insights, a book containing interviews with some of the early 21st century's comic geniuses, is as good as or even better than Wilde's wonderful and still timely book.
		As a young stand up comic I have always wished I could meet all of my comic idols and ask them how they did it and how they continue to do it...and be succesful at it.
		Stand up comedy is often a tough gig, but reading this book which shows how the "greats" made it through the hard times, mastered their craft and keep things new shows that it's all worthwhile.

	The Record - Entertainment - 04/07/2005 - Being a stand-up comic isn't all laughs
		It comes as little surprise to hear a comic who uses life-experiences as fodder for comedy was inspired by Bill Cosby.
		He estimates, though, that the most a comic can appear at a club and be effective is twice a year.
		He was skeptical of "The Last Comic Standing" reality series, too, supporting the gossip that claims the contestants are selected for their idiosyncratic personalities as much as for their comedic skills.

	THE IRANIAN: Comedian Tissa Hami, Annika S. Hipple
		Says Stash: "Here is this comic up there dressed as a woman from the Middle East, which has seemed inaccessible to us, now suddenly revealing an American-style comedy, which is a set up and a twist in itself."
		The daughter of traditional Iranian professionals (her father has a PhD in computer science and her mother is a dentist), Hami grew up in a predominantly White suburb of Boston.
		Hami uses her routine to clear up many of the misconceptions that Americans have about Islam, saying, "I wouldn't call myself particularly devout - and I would even say that I'm somewhat irreverent - but this is the culture and religion of my family and my country."

		Well, there isn't one, says Patrick Maliha, who despite his profession is dead serious about seeking a seat on city council as a member of the NPA in the November municipal election.
		When he began his comedy career in Ottawa in 1990, club managers said he was "too weird, a little bit off, too opinionated." Now he considers himself one of the most successful comedians on the West Coast.
		In his high school days in Thunder Bay, Ont., and in Grade 11 at the time, he was told he was too young to run for student council.

	Books : Frankie Howerd: Stand Up Comic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Well written and wonderfully researched, this book is a highly readable must for any comedy fan.
		He more or less re-invented stand up comedy in the 1940s, made TV sketch comedy so much more intimate (by talking directly to the viewers) in the 1960s and inspired a new generation of stand ups in the 1980s.
		He was a brilliant performer, and it has been so maddening to see him belittled since his death by a succession of 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink' profiles and a handful of pathetically superficial hagiographies.

	Stand-up comic of the revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Bruce crystallised rebellion for us because he was intolerant of any form of hypocrisy or bigotry and said so in the funniest and most outlandish ways.
		Compared to the short order comedy that occupies our television screens today the idea that a stand-up comic could rally insurgent youth to undermine the established order seems almost bizarre.
		If it weren't for the feminist comics, our laughter would have no point to it and would fail to be liberating.

		The long-form tales featured on Standup Comic (including Allen's famous bit featuring a moose and a cocktail party) provide plenty of laughs as well as an early glimpse at this protean comic genius.
		Psychiatry, his disastrous relationships with women, his relatives, etc. are his favourite topics, and they are treated with the typical Allenesque point-of-view, which somehow manages to put you on the wrong foot every single time.
		This CD actually doesn't include all the material that was available on the original LP's, but what it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality, and, like it or not, this is all we're ever going to get.
