What a stand up comedian does is more difficult than the one in a movie. They should stand in front of the audience, if they make a mistake there is no chance to get back and correct it, there is no other player to facilitate the work and no other especial facilities on the scene. There are many good stand up comedians whom you can find them on youtube also, we prepared a list to name a few.
