They say that stand up comedy has been around since the 1800’s but it never really took off until the 1970’s, the birth of modern stand up comedy. There is a short list of people who forever changed this genre. These people took insecurities and personal problems and made it okay to laugh at them and ourselves; for in their comedy lay pain and fear, heartache and sadness. These comedians were not afraid to let people into their world and we loved them for it. To this day, their styling’s are copied and rehashed in every comedian routine because they are the true pioneers. Here are the people that made it possible for us to laugh.
