i work as a stand up comedian.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Stand-up comedy is a comic style in which a comedian performs in front of a live audience, usually speaking directly to them. The performer is commonly known as a comic, stand-up comic, stand-up comedian or simply a stand-up. In stand-up comedy, the comedian usually recites a grouping of humorous stories, jokes and one-liners typically called a monologue, routine or act. Some stand-up comedians use props, music or magic tricks to \"enhance\" their acts. Stand-up comedy is often performed in comedy clubs, bars and pubs, nightclubs, neo-burlesques, colleges and theatres. Outside live performance, stand-up is often distributed commercially via television, DVD, CD and the internet. In stand-up comedy, the feedback of the audience is instant and crucial for the comedian's act. Audiences expect a stand-up comic to provide a steady stream of laughs, and a performer is always under pressure to deliver. Will Ferrell has called stand-up comedy \"hard, lonely and vicious\". A stand-up comedy show may involve only one comedian, or feature a \"headline\" or a \"showcase\" format. A headline format typically features an opening act known as a host, \"comp\u00e8re\" (UK), or master of ceremonies (MC), who usually warms up the crowd, interacts with the audience members, makes announcements, and introduces the other performers.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I have really been getting into stand-up comedy, I've even been thinking about trying it myself!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I really enjoy stand-up comedy, I love Dave Chapelle, do you like him?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I've actually never watched to Dave Chapelle!
