Stand-Up

*"A type of comedy in which an entertainer, typically standing alone on stage, tells jokes or amusing stories directly to an audience."* ***- Oxford English***

Distinct from vaudeville, sketch, ad-lib and comedic oration inasmuch as a stand-up comic tends to stick to set-up and punchline style joking or comedic observation and social commentary.

"Alternative Stand-Up" is so called because the performance tends to blend in other styles and traditions.
