Stand-up Review
Ever wonder what makes a great comedy special truly land, or why a particular bit sticks with you for years? That's the kind of conversation you'll find on Stand-up Review. Each episode digs into the craft of stand-up, from timeless classics you love to the latest special that just dropped on a streaming service. We break down the mechanics-the timing, the audience work, the writing-behind everything from dark, gallows humour to the lightest, silliest puns. It’s less about giving a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down and more about understanding why comedy works the way it does. Think of it as a backstage pass to the thought process behind the laughs. Whether you're looking to revisit an old favourite with a new perspective or discover a comedian you might have missed, this podcast serves as your companion. We get into the specifics, sharing our thoughts and analyses in a way that feels like a chat between friends who are just really passionate about the art form. So, pull up a chair, hit play, and join us for a deep and appreciative dive into the world of stand-up comedy.
