For many years, you could turn on the radio at anytime and hear people doing crosstalk in China. Now, the best time to see or hear crosstalk is on television during the Spring Festival. Laura: What happens during a crosstalk performance? Cao Jun: Crosstalk involves talking, imitating, telling jokes and singing. The talking is normally between two performers, who use language in clever ways that make people laugh. There is also a oneperson form of crosstalk, and it is also sometimes done by three or more people, unlike Western standup edy, where edians tell jokes that are only loosely related, a crosstalk performer tells a whole story, it has a clear beginning, middle and end. Laura: Most of our English audience has never heard about crosstalk, so this is all new to them. Cao Jun: Yes, that is because crosstalk is always done in Chinese. Crosstalk is not performed in English, and you must understand both the Chinese language and Chinese culture to understand the humour in it. Laura: Well, Cao Jun, that is just another reason for people to study Chinese! Cao Jun: Yes, it is ! Laura: Thanks for joini。
