The world needs more superheroes who can make the robotic planet hysterical with their spirit of humor! Comedy is nothing but a comedian’s presence of mind and sense of humor; conceivably, it is the only medium of conveying a crystalline reality among an unyielding and stigmatized race. Because this might be the last chance, we are getting to be percolated with the unveiled harsh reality of existence, the last chance to become infused with love and affection even towards a brute.

The Origin

The United States, the origin point of the modern stand-up comedy, has endorsed all the rudimentary resources to the fraternity of comedians for emerging as a mainstream entertainment event. Mark Twain, the famous humorist, started roaming the entire country and heard for the first time at Angels Hotel aftermath his one of the most humorous story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country”. Furthermore, the prevalence of Vaudevilles in the United States helped to edify the absorbance of people and acceptance for this virgin form of entertainment. From the late 19th century, it has been growing like anything; however, there are some obvious reasons, though.

As Heraclitus said, “There is nothing permanent except change”. Essentially, we humans are fond of new things because we make everything monotonous and so much intuitive. We only find anything interesting up to some countable confrontation; thereby, we find this stand-up comedy so much engaging and interesting solely because we have a scarcity of humorous people around us, and this growing interest of middle-class towards stand-up comedy the main drive behind this colossal success.

Fast-forwarding

Just a few years past, when it was circumscribed by the television industry and live stages only, nobody has ever presumed the present size of this industry; perhaps the growing popularity has acted as the main catalyst in this regard.

As it is one of the youngest in the house, ergo, people will tolerate all the harsh but droll candor burlesques at least until it becomes adolescent and reiterated like other forms of expression. However, until then, we can use this expression to strike all the rotten end broken areas of society and culture, to tickle one’s funny bone during distress or even to make this globe more tolerant and relaxed towards humanity.

These comedians convey messages with a veneer of powerful erudition alongside their catchy humorous lines, and sometimes those lines contain an indication towards some significant breakdown in social mechanism to draw a mass intimation to that err.

The Outcome

Life is stressful, and day by day, the mentality of people are becoming more skeptical; at this stretch of civilization, we need more unusual and gladdening forms of expressions, so that people could percolate their implicit impurities with the spirit of laughter.

We should use this wonderful form of eloquence in every stressful industry, even for the upbringing of each upcoming greenness. However, the world seems to start doing so, and we have already reached the bream of the entertainment industry in this short while; thereby, we can only presume the actual potent of this venture and intuit the forthcoming shape.

The alluring market even attracted Amazon, the e-commerce giant, to incorporate these comedy shows to the Amazon Fire TV Sticks. If you already own a TV Stick, then by clicking this link Amazon Fire TV Stick guides, you can perform your desired functionality, including finding your favorite Netflix to see some of the prevailing standup comedy shows.

After the era of Mark Twain, the world has seen many prominent faces of this discipline. Like, New York City’s famous theatre, the Palace introduced the world with one of the earliest solo comedian, Sir Frank Fay. And then, one after another comedian honed the shape of modern day’s solo stand up comedy scenario; “take my wife – please” the famous line of Henny Youngman slay the humor averse attitude of society regarding women; later on, this has become a trend, and using this notion; many comics portray the saddening reality of society concerning women with an entertaining narrative. Today’s world also has some precious performers like Dave Chapelle, Gabriel Iglesias, Kevin Hart, and many more those who are tirelessly contributing to metamorphose this brilliant industry at its optimum stretch along with many marvelous contributions towards the redemption of the social edifice and eradication of cultural stigmas.

Signing Off

Standup comedy is still a fresh form of interpretation, and still, it has some err to rectify. Because many comedians often succumb on their eloquence and offend any individual. Though we are aware of the fact that nothing in this cosmos is err-less; still, we have to modify and amend standup comedy a lot so that we could establish this as a practical and stable means of conveying powerful words regardless the sphere of application.
