Humor in the United States has been so long as if it were a country. After all, life was hard and rice, was an important way to cope and survive. However, standup comedy as an art form has taken a bit 'to develop and enforce. History is full and entire books have been written on the subject. This point will be a much changed so that the reader can be used for a "leap of place", a detailed study those parts that are of interest to be applied.
One of the firstTypes of standup comedy has been organized in the United States, the minstrel show that came on the scene in early 1800. E 'is sometimes referred to as "black face comedy. Although by 21 century standards scary, this brand of comedy was very popular when it starts. This raises would paint their faces black and white mannerisms start stereotyping of persons color for their material. It is always said that the play reflects the times. And like it or not, this was theState of the country in 1800. The minstrel show remained popular through the mid-19th century and began to lose, because the point of view of the United States on racism and slavery began to change.
As the popularity waned minstrel shows, vaudeville began to be a popular form or stand-up or pre-stand-up comedy. In addition to comedy, numbers of varieties including dancers, magicians and actors. Some shows even the clown acts-as indicated. Only some of the most important comedians of this brand of comedy are: -Fred Dupre, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Groucho Marx and the Marx Brothers and Kendall Ezera. Vaudeville comedians rely less on the word used to laugh and, instead, props and physical comedy. This is because the microphones did not, and instead had to rely on the physical form of comedy.
Vaudeville even more popular for a long time comic performances on the radio recently invented. This was the beginning of the "comedy for the masses." But while this was very goodMessages for the general public, it came with a price for the performers. They could no longer rely on their physical aspect of comedy, now get both their material and its timing the audience laugh. Some comedians may make the transition from vaudeville to more than one kind of word play. Some of the most important comedians who have made this transition: Jack Benney, Bob Hope, Milton Berle and George Burns.
The addition of the radio was not the only development thatStandup comedy was innovative. The microphone was applied to comic art at their disposal. And yet, the vaudeville comedian had to adapt to their shows more like a slapstick comedy, spoken word.
Now comedians have been able to perform standup comedy as we know now. E 'at this point in history that changes in standup comedy is more content, rather than physical, that it is performed in use. Standup Comedy in the following decadeswas a reflection of events that have had what at that time and how the moral issues and accepted in the country in those decades.
The decades of the 1950s and 1960s saw the rise of comics like Don Rickles, Johnny Carson and Phyllis Diller. While the country has begun to break down the walls of racism, started to do some great black comedy, the audience laugh. They were Dick Gregory, Bill Cosby and Redd Foxx. Because racial boundaries have been pushed to the limits of acceptableHumor began testing the limits. They consist mainly of the comedy of Lenny Bruce, what some say, the beginning of an argument is something that is the style of comedy. He pushed the envelope so far that has been arrested several times for things on stage, he said. It is tempting at this point of the borders, to see how you could go with his comedy funny.
Another important development for the stand-up comedy began in 1950 and 1960 - the television. With the advent ofthe physical nature of the comedy of vaudeville and also finds the word, the television might have the best comedians of both worlds. This has seen the development of the variety shows like The Tonight Show and The Ed Sullivan Show.
The 1970s were great for comedians! This is when they become superstars. They took off on television and in small comedy clubs selling out large arenas. Comedians like George Carlin, Cheech and Chong and Richard Pryor thrived inthe new settings. In addition to their live performances have made recordings of their shows and sell them (as LP) to the public. And, of course, the themes were consistently the limits of what was to accept the society. As the sexual revolution, and anything goes "mentality in society has been widespread, the issues too funny.
I, 1990 1980 and 2000 is primarily the reason why in recent decades, greater exposure and printing envelopes. However, there have been fewsignificant developments in recent decades. MTV and Comedy Comedy Central made more accessible to more people. Not only does the public always strips the name of the great comic, comics and how they were to come on TV again exposed. A new phenomenon is a reality show based comedy called "Last Comic Standing." This exhibition offers viewers a greater exposure comics inexperienced, which may one day make big leagues.
We do not know where StandupWe play in the future. If the past is any indication, there will be no public access to the standup comic and always make a way by the limits of what is acceptable in society look to overcome.
