In this laugh-out-loud episode of Culture Copia, we dive deep into the world of stand-up comedy—from smoky clubs to Netflix specials, and everything in between. We explore how comedy has evolved across the decades, shaped by the legends who grabbed the mic and changed the game.
Join us as we spotlight the iconic comics of the ’80s like Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, and Joan Rivers, who brought edgy material and electric energy to the stage. The ’90s gave us heavy hitters like Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dave Chappelle, redefining observational humor and social commentary. And by the 2000s, comics like Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, and Louis C.K. pushed boundaries with raw, confessional comedy that resonated with a new generation.
We also discuss how stand-up has adapted to changing audiences, platforms, and cultural norms—while still holding onto its rebellious roots. Whether you're a fan of classic punchlines or modern mic drops, this episode is your backstage pass to the world of stand-up comedy.
