Great observation, totally agreed, and thats what I thought since I clearly wrote in parentheses(at least in America), not the world. I've disagreed on the spot that Charlie Case was the 1st comedian in the world coz thats impossible, but "maybe" he is the first in America in terms of the "Stand-Up" back in the late 19th century.

Nahhh, this makes no sense, especially in the 19th century? Nah!!
Even in Africa, before the slave trade, there have always been "stand up comedians", in terms of standing before a group of people and entertaining them. The Irish were famous for this!
Maybe labeling it "stand up comedy" is what's new, but that art form has been around ever since.
Listen Mr TheOne, I think joining with Kris (theOnekris?) to post this did you in - you were bamboozled, taken, checkmated etc. He made you believe he discovered & labeled it as stand-up comedy, paid a couple historians, and used a mulatto to make the point.
Now you need to apologize to the LLC Board!
