A title bestowed on a comedian or comedy fan who consistently delivers, dominates a specific scene, or just has a gift for making any group of people laugh on command. The standup king doesn't need a stage — they're the person at the dinner table, in the group chat, on stage at their local club, who reliably owns the room. Online it's used both seriously (crowning established comedians) and affectionately (for a friend who always comes through with the funniest take in any thread).
He went up last and closed out the whole show — undisputed standup king of the night.
