Yesterday's day off. I watched the stand up comedy of U.S on youtube in my house.They ware so funny and fantastic.
Basically, their performance were not pretty difference from Japanese comedian who talk to audience about funny story and make ordinary story a little interesting.
However, To be honest,I understood most of what they said, but could not get some of it.This is the reason that sometimes I could not catch what they said because they talked so fast. Moreover, I also couldn't understand their sense of humor a little, for example, They often said the story about racial discrimination and sexual minority. I think they are such a dangerous topics and I wander why audience were laughing rather than being angry..
Probably, I guess audience accepted comedian because their technique are high level so that they can make thing which we usually don't have to say so funny, in other words, just black joke.

Yesterday, I had the day off. I spent the day inside, watching American stand-up comedy. The comedians were hilarious.
Basically, their performance was not that different from that of Japanese comedians, who talk to audience about a funny story or make an ordinary story a little more interesting.
To be honest, I understood most of what they said, but could not get some of it because they sometimes talked too quickly. Also, I sometimes couldn't understand their sense of humor. For example, they often told stories about racial discrimination and sexual minorities(1). I think that they are dangerous topics, so I wondered why the audience was laughing instead of getting angry..
I guess the audience accepted the comedians because they had enough skill to turn inappropriate topics, such as black jokes, into something to be laughed at. (2)

(1 ) Did you mean "For example, they often told racist and sexist stories"?
(2) Not sure what you meant in this last part.. sorry.
