I love stand-up comedy.
You get comedians from different backgrounds, different styles.
Steve Martin is a good example — he was strange on stage, and it just works in a way that you can’t really explain.
His stand-up didn’t have traditional punchlines, his delivery style relied on mock-confidence, and his deadpan delivery was kind of the opposite of traditional punchlines.
Definitely an interesting dude.
Steve Martin sold out arenas doing stand-up comedy in ways that nobody had done that before. To be honest… Nobody has really done it since in quite the same way.
Here are some great Steve Martin jokes.
(I’d also highly recommend reading his book, Born Standing Up.
