It's the dangerous element of stand-up comedy that makes it so exciting, and when it works it creates an exhilarating bond between performer and audience.

I love stand-up comedy as an art form; it has room for people who aren't quite comedians, such as musicians and magicians.

I like reflecting on old photos and watching stand-up comedy.

Finally, late-night jazz or stand-up comedy before repairing to my suite.

It's a competent, sometimes colourful hour of stand-up comedy.
