Making China laugh


The BBC has an article about an unlikely place to do comedy:
Stand-up comedy is popular in the west but is still a relatively new concept in China.
In a country with limited freedom of expression, speaking in public can be problematic, even if it is just to make people laugh.
For the past year, Irish-American stand-up comedian Des Bishop (video) has been taking on state censorship in Beijing as well as a new language.
BBC News joined him to find out what makes Chinese people laugh.
Rico says what's next? A gig on Comedy Central?
