You Want to be a Comedian?

You think you wanna be a comedian, huh? It’s a tough life full of hotel rooms and bombed shows and it’s not easy money like you might imagine. Before you waste a lot of timing looking for jokes on your Wild Blue Deals internet you should try a few of our suggestions for wannabe comedians first:
Hit an Amateur Night – If you really think you’ve got what it takes put together a 7-10 minute show and hit an amateur night in town. People will be more forgiving since they know you’re not a professional and you’ll get a real feel for what it’s like to stand up in front of a crowd.
Try jokes on your friends – Just don’t tell them you’re doing it. If you’ve got material you think will kill try and casually work it into conversation with your friends and see how receptive they are. If you hear crickets, maybe it’s time to go back to the drawing board.
Talk to a pro – If you know anyone in the business already try and sit down to chat. They’ll be brutally honest with you about the pitfalls of this business and maybe even hook you up with some contacts.
