A comedian who stands and addresses an audience directly is called a stand-up comedian.
Famous comedians often overstep the mark of what the public perceive as acceptable, such as the remarks made by Billy Connolly about the killing of Ken Bigley.
As far as content is concerned, comedians such as Tommy Tiernan draw on their background to poke fun at themselves, while others such as Bill Hicks have strong political and cultural undertones.
The Comedians' Comedian was a three-hour programme broadcast on UK's Channel 4 on January 1, 2005.
The show listed the top fifty comedians of all time, as voted for by fellow comedians and business insiders, rather than the general public.
Among the comedians were three double acts (making a total of 53 comedians), three members of Monty Python, 33 British comedians, 18 Americans, one Irishman, and one Canadian; 48 men, and five women.
