I've been studying stand-up performance as a way of preparing for a solo show I'm in the process of writing. I'll be performing ten minutes of the material in April. Why stand-up? Because I'm looking for a contrast to the solo-show stereotype of emotionally over-wrought personal revelations. Sorry to generalize. What about Bridge and Tunnel or Dai you say? I would say those shows are exceptions to the rule.
Youtube is great for this kind of research. Here's what I've been watching:
Brian Regan here, here, here, here, and here.
Rich Hall here, here, here, and here. Notice the resemblance to Moe Szyslak.
Then, of course, there's Bill Hicks. Here's a roughly 30 minute set. Enjoy.
Addendum: One more Bill Hicks show here.
