A form of public speaking which is really entertaining. What I've realized from these comics is that they actually speak from the heart. They say what they feel. After listening to quite a few of them, there is no doubt that they make a lot of preparations and study into all of their jokes and opinions. This involves a intrapersonal relationship that decides wether their joke is too racy, sensitive, sexist or unethical for their show.
Stand up comedy is a great form of human communication that has been overlooked for many years. Even in Malaysia, the whole practice is only starting to get recognition with the formation of YCOM which stands for Young Comedians of Malaysia. After seeing a few of their shows, it seems that our young comedians definitely have the potential to make it big in the industry.
Everyone's favourite comedian. Russell Peters. Even though most of his jokes are entirely based on racists comments and stereotypes, he doesn't get booed or get death threats because he even attacks himself which is his indian background. This sends a non-verbal message and makes everyone think about their own race. The good and bad so that they try to change and drift away from stereotypes that the society have given them.
