STAND UP COMEDIANS
That old brick wall that serves as the backdrop for so many comedians symbolizes the man-against-the-world scenario that all comics enter when they walk up on stage and take the microphone in their hand. According to some comedians, that aggravating, humiliating position that comics assume night after nights is instrumental in leading a stand up comedian from bombing in local clubs to blowing crowds away in national venues. The drama, the passion and of course a few hilarious comedy jokes along the way are the heart of what makes a great comedian top a list of famous stand up comedians.

Comedy monologues as portrayed by professional stand up comedians got their cultural start in the early Vaudeville days of the 19th century. Vaudeville shows in the United States were like a variety act show for entertainers of all kinds, including those who were particular skilled in the art of the yuck. Small fry comedians were bombarded with unwanted produce. However, with comedy central to their art, many of those aspiring entertainers from the Vaudeville tradition gained lasting fame at the beginning of the previous century, including Jack Benny, Bob Hope and Frank Fay.

Through the years since, the list of female comedians has grown, including Saturday Night Live favorites like Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman, as well as contemporaries like Donna Cherry and Leslie Norris (both of whom are on the list of female comedians available through www.comedianusa.com) At the same time, ethnic minorities have developed their own styles of comedy. A list of black comedians who have achieved national stardom include Bill Cosby and Chris Rock, each detailing their minority struggles through the way they know best: by poking fun at them. Comediansusa.com also features a list of Latino stand up comedians, as well as many of the other varieties and styles of comedy that populate the current comedy scene.
