Standup
Comedians
Often people want to
know, "Who are the best stand-up comedians?"
This question will never receive the
same answer. As in all matters of taste,
what one person finds brilliant may
not impress his or her neighbor. Too
many factors come into play when judging
the merits of any performer. Among these
issues are how you perceive the comic's
personality and how much the comic's
material hits home with your own life
experiences.
For example, if the
comedian seems excessively mean to the
point of offending your sense of justice,
then you will not like that comic, and
little of what he or she can say will
seem funny to you. Neither will you
enjoy a comedian who seems false and
affected. On the other hand, if you
find yourself "rooting" for certain
comedians, it's because you sympathize
with them, and you'll be more likely
to find the humor in their material.
Judging
Stand-Up Comedians
Likewise, if you and the comedian share
a common culture or point of view, you
will probably appreciate the comic's
message more. It all boils down to a
matter of personal taste. However, as
one of America's biggest comedy bookers,
we at Summit Comedy must constantly
make value judgments about comedians
when we decide which ones we will work
with, and which we will not.
Any
comic we handle must score high on professionalism,
quality and content of material, audience
rapport, and professional credits, such
as TV and film appearances, special
awards, and the like. We're happy to
discuss with you who the best comedian
may be for your needs. Just call
us toll-free at (888) 925-7073 during
business hours (9-5 EST), or send us
an email at SummitComedy@aol.com! |
