If you go to a club and pay to hear someone tell funny stories, there is a show called “stand-up”. Stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) started in the 1800s. It has gone a long way in the West, but it is a new kind of TV show in China. More and more young people begin watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it as a part-time job.

The King of Stand-up Comedy is a popular one on the Internet. Performers from all walks of life join the show. A university student talks about the problems when he is looking for jobs. A British man tells his funny stories while living in China. A grandpa shares what happened to him and his children when they live together. Their colourful stories and different ideas on life put great things into this season’s programme (节目).2 The show is such a big success that it has opened a door to the golden age of stand-up comedy.
Today there are stand-up clubs around the world. Why is stand-up comedy so popular? Because people think it is simple and fun.3 All you need is one person to stand up and make the whole room laugh.
