Born of free speech with roots in Vaudeville stand-up comedy is alive and triving in comedy clubs across the nation, gushing into mainstream media with "Last Comic Standing", and a variety of cable specials. "Stand-up comedy is the other 'Original American Artform'." Fans love comedy. They love discovering undiscovered talent, supporting underdogs and sending a home-town talent to Hollywood or New York! They identify with those breakout talents that are rocking clubs and restaurants, proven funny, they are local heros expressing everyday frustrations in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rodgers, Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. They are also the Jerry Lewis', the Smothers Brothers and Rodney Dangerfields of their generation.
The "Samari" of entertainment, these entertainers write and perform their own material, sharpening every word with each performance for side-splitting, eye-watering, breath-gasping laughter. They are at times our social conscience, the willing few driven to proclaim "the Emperor has no clothes". Yes, stand-up comedy is even labelled subversive in many cultures but not in freedom loving countries where the right to have an opinion is so treasured that it is protected. "Are you leveraging Stand-up Comedy? Why Not?" Stand-up comedians are grass-roots performers reaching audiences 100-200 at a time. Their fans are loyal and grow with each performance. Friends tell friends and over 3-10 years the audiences grow to fill theaters, stadiums and living rooms. These are the brightest, the best of a generation, busting their heads against booking blockages and media bias. Their time is coming and their sponsors will benefit from the support they provide. You can be a part of the coming comedy explosion. You can literally feel the ground shake as these comedians take the stage. |
