well i love watching standups, and in most cases i think it does.
Sometimes the culture gets a bit lost in the mix.

Yeah, some polital referances get lost in tranlation but on the whole the world has become a smaller place in the last 15-20 years, so most comedy is passabal on bothsides of the water. Give or take some UK reigonal accents (i understand some Americans have trouble with strong Liverpool or scottish accents)
