Stand-up comedy in China is known as “脱口秀 (Tuōkǒu Xiù)” and follows a different style

Unlike Western stand-up, Chinese stand-up comedy often blends short storytelling, wordplay, and observational humor rather than aggressive sarcasm. Many jokes rely heavily on Mandarin language nuances, regional accents, and everyday social experiences, making it deeply tied to Chinese culture.
