In stand-up comedy, a comedian presents a live show in front of an audience, usually in a comedy club or theatre. The comic tells a succession of amusing jokes, tales, and observations, frequently drawing on their own life or making societal commentary. Comedy performers frequently interact with the audience and react to their reactions in stand-up comedy, which is recognised for being spontaneous and participatory.
