Des Bishop on China's Stand-Up Boom and Censorship

Stand-up comedy is China's second-largest theater category, trailing only cinema, according to state media, Bloomberg reported. Many credit American comic Des Bishop with helping spark the trend over a decade ago. After moving to Beijing, he learned Mandarin from scratch and developed a routine that helped lay the groundwork for the current scene. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle met Bishop in Hong Kong to discuss the industry's evolution and censorship.
