In stand-up comedy, the performer addresses the audience directly from the stage while entertaining a live audience. The performer is referred to as a comic, stand-up, or comedian.

One-liners, stories, remarks, or a shtick that uses props, music, magic, or ventriloquism are all part of stand-up comedy. Almost anywhere can host a performance of it, including comedy clubs, festivals, pubs, nightclubs, colleges, or theatres.

The traditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including as minstrel performances, vaudeville, burlesque, and British music hall, are where stand-up as a Western art form finds its roots.

The Stage published a description of a woman named Nellie Perrier performing "stand up comedic ditties in a fashionable and delightful manner" in 1911. However, this description referred to a performance of comedy songs rather than stand-up comedy in its true modern form.

The "Stage Gossip" column in The Yorkshire Evening Post on November 10, 1917, discussed the career of a comic by the name of Finlay Dunn.

The unwritten agreement between the audience and the comic allows them to momentarily reject established social norms and tolerate the comedian's presentation of unusual, contentious, or scandalous topics. A joke's power to elicit laughter or stinging censure depends on one's capacity to comprehend the premise and enjoy the connected punchline. 

In contrast to most other performing disciplines, stand-up comedy features a single performer who speaks directly to the audience. The content should be viewed as spontaneous, and the comic only succeeds in making the audience feel intimate while deterring heckling.

Most people find the prospect of standing on stage to be incredibly intimidating; study on the issue has repeatedly indicated that the dread of public speaking is more powerful than the fear of death. This is part of the appeal of stand-up comedy.

Live comedy depends on the crowd, who serves as the comedian's adversary and enhances the overall experience. This is seen in the usage of produced laughter in television comedies, as without it, programmes frequently seem "dry" or uninteresting. For the same reason, shows may be recorded in front of a live audience.
