to all you guys who don't know what stand-up is... according to wikipedia (hehe :mrgreen
Stand-up comedy is a style of comedy where the performer speaks directly to the audience, with the absence of the theatrical fourth wall. A person who performs stand-up comedy is known as a stand-up comic, stand-up comedian or more informally stand up. It is usually performed by a single comedian, and usually with the aid of a microphone. The comedian usually recites a fast-paced succession of humorous stories, short jokes (called bits), and one-liners, typically called a monologue, routine or act. Some stand-up comedians use props, music, or magic tricks in their acts.
