What's the difference between stand-up comedy and speech?

Stand-up crosstalk is a form of crosstalk. Stand-up crosstalk is a folk art form developed on the basis of folk jokes. It not only has the characteristics of cross talk, but also inherits the artistic techniques of folk jokes, stories and storytelling. It is full of stories and interesting, so it is widely circulated in society.

There are some similarities between stand-up crosstalk and storytelling. For example, both of them are performed by one person, and both of them are mainly talking.

But the difference between the two is obvious. Storytelling is to please the audience with fascinating storylines and characters, while stand-up comedy is a joke. Although stand-up crosstalk also tells stories, and there are characters in the stories, there must be "jokes" that make people laugh (crosstalk terminology is called "baggage"). Storytelling is telling stories, and stand-up crosstalk is telling jokes; Telling stories may not make the audience laugh, but stand-up comedy must find ways to make people laugh. When creating and creating cross talk jokes, we should consciously organize several or several funny jokes according to the characteristics of cross talk, so that the audience will definitely laugh.

In addition, in the performance style, storytelling and stand-up crosstalk are also different. The storyteller has the tone, action and expression of the storyteller; Those who speak stand-up crosstalk have the tone, movement and expression of stand-up crosstalk.
