Stand-up comedy is a comic style where comedians perform in front of a live audience, sharing a combination of funny stories, short jokes called "bits," and one-liners. Each comedian's act is different; while some focus entirely on dry humor, others use props or magic trips to supplement their acts. One thing remains the same, however — there is usually a constant stream of jokes to make you laugh.
Stand-up comedy is usually performed in comedy clubs and, more recently, theaters. Famous modern comics include everyone from "Seinfeld" creator Jerry Seinfeld and the puppeteer Jeff Dunham to self-deprecating Jim Gaffigan and celebrity-obsessed Kathy Griffin.
