Stand up comedy has often been described as one of the hardest acts to pull off. It basically consists of one person standing in front of an audience and trying to make them laugh. Many professionals say that stand up comedy can be harsh and lonely. This may be where the phrase, I died up there, first originated.Unlike an actor, a stand up comedian fails or succeeds on his or her own talent. An actor usually has a script to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on. Stand up comedy is only a single, hopefully talented person with either a very likable personality or an arsenal of jokes.Stand up comedy can take many forms. It can consist of a monologue of amusing incidents that may form a story. It can be a string of stinging one-liners, or simply a succession of jokes. Stand up comedy can also be performed almost anywhere – clubs, bars or parties. Wherever there is a microphone and a would-be entertainer, stand up comedy exists.The art of this type of performance has gone through many changes.

The new comedy was subversive, message comedy. It used political and topical content to raise social questions and change the public's thinking.Comedians such as Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks got in your face and into your brain as they broke comedy barriers. Lenny Bruce was arrested many times for his particular brand of comedy. These stand up comics challenged mainstream comedy to a fight and then wiped the floor with it.
