- Is stand-up comedy a form of theatre or a different art altogether? Is it possible that it's even more theatrical than theatre itself?
Oliver Double, a Reader in Drama and Head of Comedy at the University of Kent and stand-up comedian showcases what his research and experience say about the blurred lines between Stand-up Comedy and Theatre.
Filmed around Kent. Oliver Double teaches and researches comic and popular performances. He worked as a stand-up comedian on the national comedy circuit and set up the Last Laugh, Sheffield’s longest running comedy club. He continues to perform occasionally. He has written a number of books, chapters and articles on stand-up comedy, variety theatre and popular performance, and helped to establish the British Stand-Up Comedy Archive, based at Kent’s Templeman Library. His latest book Alternative Comedy: 1979 and the Reinvention of British Stand-Up was published 2020. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Each of his points of the difference between stand up and theater are intriguingly true.
i cant describe how entertaining this was to watch.
Can you spare a minute to read this?
"You stayed strong in those moments of your life. You were alone. You battled loneliness. And you somehow discovered your inner calm and survived!
Now you deserve the happiness that you have been denying yourself for so long. Enjoy the moment. You are getting closer to realising your dreams!".
Only an English Man would write a analysis on Stand Up .
Intriguing title.
You have intriguing beauty, Chloe Anne!
Agreed. That's why I decided to listen.

So was it a beach, or not?
Thought provoking and a well rehearsed thesis - even if I disagree - as I think stand up comedy is a subset of theatre …

He reminds me so much of LetthemtalkTV.

Hah! You sure are not afraid of actors reactions. Agree 100% though.
Prove yourself to yourself, not others.

Left wing politics is a terrible subject for comedians. Politics is tragic more than funny. Poking fun at the wealthy, successful or powerful is just antisocial discrimination.
In short, theatre encompasses stand up comedy. Certainly stand up can be more engaging than drama, but it performs a different function. Comic actors can be better than other actors, but not all comics can act a serious role.
The theatre is a place to watch a performance, not purely acting or drama.
Comedy has an important role, but not the only one.
What do you mean that Izzard now uses she /her pronouns?
This would be good if it wasn't cruel and tone deaf.
Comedians are funny so long as they agree with the leader in charge. Make fun of Trump and worship Biden and you'll have a nice long career.
Yay
