<p>I would word the sentence something like this:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>我知道她之所以跟以前很不一样，是因为做了几年单人相声。</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Where changed a lot is: <code>跟以前很不一样</code> - instead of being direct and talking about changed - we're going with a indirect 'very different'.</p>

<p>Also notice the <code>之所以...是因为</code> construct. Which would be like saying <code>the reason xxx</code>....<code>is because xxx</code>...
This is a common construct in Chinese and good for explaining things.</p>

<p>Is there a colloquial way to say "A person has changed a lot"? 
For example, I'd like to say "I know she has changed over the past couple of years because of doing stand-up comedy" </p>

<p>Would it be 
"我知道他因为开始Stand－up就变了很多” or is it “有很多变化？” </p>

Stand-Up would be **单人相声** & as for changed I think in Chinese it's best to be more specific as to *what* changed, her attitude? Her personality?

> 我知道她之所以跟以前很不一样，是因为做了几年单人相声。

Where changed a lot is: `跟以前很不一样` - instead of being direct and talking about changed - we're going with a indirect 'very different'.

Also notice the `之所以...是因为` construct. Which would be like saying `the reason xxx`....`is because xxx`...
This is a common construct in Chinese and good for explaining things.
