The sort of comedy to bear inspection (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'the sort of comedy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bear inspection' is the second definition.
'stand up' can be an answer for 'bear' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'inspection' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stand up that I've seen before include "Arise, Dame Edna!" , "sort of comedy" , "Kind of comedian" , "To wash" , "Variety of comedy" .)
