Stand Up Comedy
Stand up comedians perform a very interesting type of art. It's definitely a performance art where timing and rhetoric are huge factors that define certain artists/comedians. Although they all may seem to do the same thing, there is a huge variety of stand up acts with many fields of subject matter. Comedy is sort of a strange profession that doesn't fall into any one field of interest specifically.
Philosophy is also a huge part of stand up comedy as it usually pertains to subjects that most people can relate to or have experienced themselves. The most successful comedians hit topics that are most relevant for their audience. They normally take these subjects and put new light or force a new perspective on them, all in a humorous fashion. Most of my favorite comedians have bits about the human condition and where we are headed as a society.
