Modern World of Stand-up Comedy

The modern world has changed in it approach to Stand-up comedy as an entertainment genre today that they had years ago. Before in the early nineteen thirties where it started to come into the public eye it was more of a niche pastime, only performed in small bars and was by no means a way of career for people. But as things went forward people grew more and more liking Stand-u up directly as a solo performance to enjoy. As it progressed in the public view it became more political through times of war, a beacon for satire and ridicule from comedians like 'George Carlin' and the dark poet 'Bill Hicks'. Today these mediums are still appreciated but comedy has become fully versed in the public eye and has an abundance of different comedians each with different approaches to comedy, some satirical, observational, storytelling, black and political. Not to mention with more friendly comedians like 'Russell Howard' and 'Michael McIntyre' it has also become more commercial with their routine and material meeting audiences of all ages. Whether of not this radical evolution of the genre is a good thing, leading to more opportunity and comedic freedom in the genre's booming industry or it will ruin the genre with oversaturation of low quality mediocre material through multi media platforms demeaning the medium as a form of entertainment.
