Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The source of the term one-man show originated primarily in referring to a comedian, who would stand on stage and entertain an audience, employing humor for the most part, cracking jokes, telling humorous stories, and most often standing upright onstage for an audience, either for an hour of pure stand-up comedy at a time, or in shorter sets for breaks. With the advent of feminism, words and phrases such as one-woman show and comedienne have entered the modern-day lexicon.
