Stand-up comedy is comedy that is delivered by a solo performer/participant speaking directly to the audience in some semblance of a spontaneous manner. Oxford University Press describes it as ?Professional entertainment consisting of jokes, sarcastic comments and satirical sketches, intended to make an audience laugh.? Do you have a keen eye to poke fun at everyday life, by observing the silliness of something that society accepts as normal, observing behaviours of different people for the same situation?
