Description

Stand-up comedy is a performance art where solo comedians deliver humorous monologues directly to a live audience, typically in comedy clubs or theaters. The format emphasizes observational humor, personal storytelling, and social commentary, often addressing everyday life, relationships, and cultural taboos. Recordings capture the intimate energy between performer and crowd, including laughter, applause, and the comedian's distinctive timing and delivery style.
