Stand-up comedy is a comedy performance and narrative craft whereby a comedian communicates to a live audience, speaking directly to them through a microphone. The performer is commonly known as a comic, stand-up comic, comedian, comedienne, stand-up comedian, or simply a stand-up.[4] Stand-up comedy is a dialogic monologue, or a grouping of humorous stories, jokes, and one-liners, typically called a shtick, routine, act, or set.Stand-ups may fuse props, music, magic tricks, or ventriloquism. Stand-up comedians perform quasi-autobiographical and fictionalized extensions of their offstage selves.
Stand-up comedy can be performed in comedy clubs, comedy festivals, bars, pubs, nightclubs, colleges, theatres, niche locations, etc. Stand-up is also distributed commercially via live action, audio, streaming, etc.
It can take an amateur comedian about 10 years to perfect the technique needed to be a professional comedian;this is a constant process of learning through failure.

My man.

This'll do until I can find better quality. It's funny I've never seen the HBO joints on DVD or in their library. Damon Wayans one was funny as hell too.
