How funny can a robot be? A robot stand-up may be less stressful to watch than human comics but could have problems with a rowdy audience. Check out the video by New Scientist!

The Robot opened with "Hello, weak-skinned pathetic perishable humans! I am here with the intent of making you laugh."

The performance was created by Pat Healey and Kleomenis Katevas at Queen Mary University of London. Andrew O'Neill and Tiernan Douieb both preformed before the robot.
