Stand up Comedy is rapidly growing throughout the internet world! Believe it or not it is. Youtube Videos take a good part of the Stand up Comedy selection and it's not going anywhere. Comedy has moved out of the clubs and into the internet.. will this possibly slow down creativity for othe comedians? Perhaps this is another step for the new grown community of Comedians that they should try to overcome and win it. It's another obstacle that they should at least try to take action on. I found a great article that says all of this and much more into detail!
YouTube may be the big box store of Internet videos, but there are lots and lots of sites that people can go to for a chuckle. Sometimes the comedy comes in the form of rehearsed sketches, sometimes it’s a standup routine, sometimes it’s an improvised skit. They have all found their places amid the reality-based clips of skateboarding squirrels and rapping toddlers.
But is this comic migration having an adverse effect on the comedy itself?
Kevin Pollak started doing standup comedy at the age of 10. He eventually navigated his way through the nightclub gauntlet as a comedian toward a thriving career as an impressionist and actor (“The Usual Suspects” and “Casino,” among many others). He said the response from live audiences was critical to his development, and may be an element missing in many current-day Internet artists.
“I think I agree in theory in terms of what’s missing from comedy on the Internet,” he said. “For me, coming up in San Francisco, it was all about finding my voice on stage in front of an audience. I can’t imagine developing a point of view by just submitting work on the Internet and checking blogs.
“But it’s happening and it’s a new generation.”
