Stand up Comedy of Emmy Blotnick
Stand-up comedy is a type of comedy that is performed in front of a live audience and is delivered directly from the stage.
A comic, comedian, or simply stand-up is the term used to describe the performer.
One-liners, stories, observations, or shtick are used in stand-up comedy, which may include props, music, magic tricks, or ventriloquism.
Stand-up comedy can be done in a variety of venues, including clubs, festivals, bars, nightclubs, colleges, and theaters.
Stand-up as a western art form has roots in vaudeville, burlesque, and English music hall traditions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The earliest confirmed use of the term “stand-up” as a term was in The Stage in 1911, when it described Miss Nellie Perrier doing “‘stand up’ comic ditties in a fashionable and charming manner,” referring to a performance of comedy songs rather than actual stand-up comedy.
The career of Finlay Dunn was chronicled in the Yorkshire Evening Post’s “Stage Gossip” section on November 10, 1917. According to the report, Dunn acted “as what he refers to as a stand-up comedian.” This usage is more convincing than the 1911 review of Nellie Perrier because, despite performing as a comedy piano act for the majority of his career, a favorite strand included joking about his large physical size, described as “good buffoonery in evening dress, with no accessories whatever,” and the article, while published in 1917, refers to an earlier phase of his career.
