An Introduction that is not funny...

Welcome to the show! And coming to the stage... is nobody. This is a blog and the only person here is YOU reading this. Now that the cliches are cliched', let me introduce the Stand-Up Blog. No, it is not a blog about posture. Alright, that was the last joke I make for now...

But this blog is is an informative list piece in which I break down the stuff you would not normally think about, you guessed it, stand-up comedy. The first assumption about stand-up comedy is it is just some person telling jokes on stage. Actually, that is not an assumption but a fact. Although facts also have stretched out details in them. Did I just trigger your mind into a thinking frenzy? Or you possibly clicked this link on accident and are proceeding to leave. Either way, I am writing this for a grade.

Stand-up comedy is planned performance that is developed by a lot of time and experience. Duh. Anything requires time and experience. Also, stand-up comedy is a performance. What I mean by that redundancy is that stand-up comedians plan out their jokes and plan out how they tell a joke. It is similar to how a singer uses a certain tone when singing a note. Think of why you are watching someone tell jokes for a few minutes. Most likely the comedian is conveniently there in a bar setting, and you are actually not even doing what I just said. There's always that one percent that actually does listen to the bar comedian and for that one percent, they are watching for the person. They are watching because of the personality the performer is portraying. We laugh because we can either relate to the joke or relate to the person. Next time you are standing up for comedy(pun definitely intended),  knock this idea through your noggin.

And that is just a sample of what I will be discussing in this blog dog(I'm sorry). Like a scientist, I will be dwelling into everything around stand-up comedy; a subject I know way to well. Also, the research process is the only thing that I do that sort of relates to science. Also, I am not a stand-up comedian, nor do I plan to be. I just love to watch stand-up. Stay tuned for now because later on in the month I will give you my thought on my first subject: Hecklers.
