Stand-up comedy has been a very recent phenomenon which caught on in India only after the penetration of Internet, when the younger generation was introduced to world of American and British stand-up comics, through the shows of variety of comedians including Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle, Ricky Gervais, Russell Peters and many others. They all joked about a variety of things, but what made stand-up special was that the jokes were almost their personal observations, which often echoed thoughts of the audiences, who agreed but probably were not that funny, or brave, to say it out loud.
