U.S.A. Comedy:
Stand Up in the U.S.A. has an incredibly big history. In WWII, Bob Hope already toured on the military camps to entertain the troops . Nightclubs were a big boost from this form of performance. They began to use them, as forms of entertainment, a lot of times as opening acts for musicians. But these acts began having fans of their own an soon emancipated themselves to become stand alone attractions. The themes evolved, so did the vocabulary, always pushing the boundaries and trying to talk the way and about what others could not.
Stand up as produced many stars in America. It became a launching pad for many and diverse flights, whether into acting in movies or staring on their own TV shows, hosting late night shows, writing or even directing like Woody Allen.
Stand up is both an art and a business in the U.S.A. Unlike many countries, this one has a enormous tradition, with a history of more than 70 years and a lot more stars.
