The Big Bumper Thread of Stand-up Comedy

[DanaC]

The way comedians banter on panel shows is not massively dissimilar to the way friends banter with each other more generally, I think as well. Obviously it's a bit more on point. But that kind of ongoing contest to make the group laugh, and the slightly jousty nature of it, where everyone's just taking the piss out of each other, or one-upping each other is very familiar, I think. He does a great job of replicating that atmosphere in his stand-up, which is no mean feat.
