《笑侃三十年》的姐妹篇--《笑侃大上海》的舞台朴素得让人感到不沾风尘，聚光灯打亮偌大的舞台，除了两张沙发和一个提纲架，再无任何道具。可是，从周立波嘴唇间蹦出的“包袱”却满是“风尘”。从上海姑娘泳装的花样、到弄堂百姓的日常生活，再到上海人住房和交通状况，三十年间上海人衣食住行的变迁在那个富有磁性的嗓音中幻化成了充满智慧的连珠妙语，抑或是暗藏 “杀机”的冷嘲暗讽

喇叭裤、爆炸头、老式收音机、砖头一样的大哥大……伴随着这些充满温馨记忆的怀旧元素，2008年底，由周立波创作的海派清口《笑侃三十年》在上海引起了强烈的轰动。2008年底到2009年春节期间，他的《笑侃三十年》，连演31场，场场爆满，创造了令人咂舌的票房奇迹。 　　三十年之诸多变数：小人可以变成大人，大人可以变成老人，老人可以先成先人，亲人可以变成仇人。好人可以变成坏人，坏人可以变成恶人。前苏联可以变成独联体，萨达姆可以变成吊死鬼。无产阶级可以变成有产阶级，有产阶级可以变成五保特困。散户可以变成大户，大户可以变成消户。980点可以变成6400点，6400点可以变成1200点。赤佬可以变成模子，模子可以变成赤佬。
