Abstract

Through decoding gender issues in stand-up comedy, this paper shows how gender issues are carried out in Chinese comedy programs, and how they cause social concerns. In the context of media convergence, new modes of communication and new forms of programs based on Internet platforms have attracted the attention of Chinese audiences. With the rise of feminism, different stand-up comedians start to discuss about gender equality, showing that comedy is a platform where ideas about gender can be reaffirmed, contested, or rethought. Stand-up comedians of different genders have different gender identities and perspectives. Female performers mostly use innuendo and criticism to their opinion of gender discrimination. Male performers use identity interchange and empathy to gain the respect of female audience and the recognition of male audience. These stand-up comedians have gained a lot of attention on Rock & Roast–one of the hottest online comedies show in China, sparking discussions on gender issues and reshaping society's gender values.
