It is stand up comics. These were comedians from the late 19th and early 20th century music halls. They did their acts on stage. They did not use microphones until the early 20th century, they hadn't been invented.

They are usually up on a stage, with a microphone, telling jokes and funny stories (standing up).

This is the customary position used by members of the comedy profession, whilst they deliver witticisms to their delighted audience.
