Summary

This quote suggests that stand-up comedy relies less on physical or visual humor and focuses more on offering social commentary or insightful observations. Unlike other forms of comedy that heavily rely on visual gags or slapstick, stand-up comics use their words and delivery style to make jokes, provide commentary on social issues, or offer unique perspectives on everyday situations. Their performances often involve storytelling, wordplay, and clever observations, making stand-up comedy a form of entertainment that stimulates critical thinking and elicits intellectual laughter.
