The Greats Of Stand Up Comedy In America
Stand up comedy, once a staple in nightclubs, have evolved, and not necessarily for the better. Unfortunately, very funny comedians have taken vulgarity to its limits and frankly, it is tiring.
If you like silly stand up comedy, Robin Williams and Steve Martin really top the list. Robin Williams is certainly not for children, however, sadly, he can get raunchy, too. Williams has a quick mind and his racing wit and antics have not slowed at all since he’s aged or had heart valve replacement surgery. Martin, more family friendly, relies on silly songs, (great banjo playing, too!) puns, and props for the majority of his humor.Didn’t catch that? This explains it. His straight expression can make even a stoic laugh!
Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill Cosby are the kinds of stand up comedians that make us laugh at ourselves. They talk of every day life, their families and situations everyone can relate to and they are family friendly. These comedians rarely, if ever, use foul language or explicit references. These comedians prove you don’t have to use people of any age. Cosby’s deliberate delivery of details keeps you waiting on his every word, until finally, he makes his point, again, inciting spewing laughter!.
