Stand-up comedy, a stage and a mic,

A place to be yourself, and speak your mind.

To tell your jokes, and make them all laugh,

To take the crowd, to the edge and back.

Stand-up comedy, a craft of wit and timing,

To make a point, without any mime-ing.

To tell your story, in a unique way,

To connect with the crowd, in a special way.

Stand-up comedy, a place to be raw,

To be vulnerable, and open the door.

To the inner thoughts, that we all share,

To the struggles, that we all bear.

Stand-up comedy, a place to be free,

To be yourself, and to be truly seen.

It's a place to take risks, and to fly,

To speak your truth, and to touch the sky.
