Abstract

In the era of rapid development of information technology, stand-up is becoming increasingly popular as one of the forms of the conversational genre, as a comedy art, a show with a spectator in which, often, one performer performs in front of a live audience. Stand-up is based on stories told by storytellers who communicate directly with the viewer. These can be fictional situations, cases that happened to the author or his friends and relatives, it can be a commentary on events taking place in the country and the world – that is, any story interesting to the speaker and listeners.
