The World Stands Up

We've loads of great stand up on Comedy Central, so here's some examples of live comedy at its best.

No matter where in the world you come from, chances are you like to laugh.

Although it has to be said we in Britain are one of the world leaders when it comes to comedy, there are those unique few from other countries that aren't half bad either, and we've got them on Comedy Central!

The World Stands Up is a showcase for some of the finest stand up comedians from this country and beyond.

Each episode is crammed full of great live performances from the likes of Dara O'Briain, Rhod Gilbert, Tim Minchin, Marcua Brigstocke and Gina Yahsere to name but a few.

Seriously though, this show is proof positive that laughter crosses more cultural barriers than The United Nations!
