It doesn’t. A sketch or a skit is more of a scene. Usually multiple people playing characters for laughs, like SNL. A stand up routine is usually one person on stage talking to the audience.

Thanks for the added nuance 😊 We do love to steal English words and use them to mean something slightly different (and follow the vibes to pronounce them, we say Sss'ket'cheu)

You can provoke a fight among some comedy people by asking what the difference is between a sketch and a skit, though...
