Getting insight into the world of stand-up comedy straight from working comics themselves is invaluable. Here are some key takeaways from comedians at different stages of their careers:
😏 TAKE THE QUIZ BELOW
- Stage time is vital. Comics need to get on stage as much as possible, even non-traditional venues, to develop their act and skills. Stage time is how you improve.
- Find your unique voice. Don’t try to fit a pre-conceived mold. Develop your own distinct perspective and point of view.
- It’s a tough business. There’s more competition than ever for a limited number of paid spots. It takes passion and perseverance.
- Enjoy the journey. At the end of the day, it’s about the shared experience between comic and audience. Focus on becoming the best performer you can be.
- TV spots are not the only measure of success. Many brilliant comics thrive on the club circuit without ever getting that “big break”. There are different paths.
- Road comedy has challenges but provides a wealth of material. Traveling from gig to gig across the country provides insights into people and places.
- Comedy comes from authenticity. The best comedy connects on a deeper human level. Vulnerability and honesty resonate.
- It’s an ongoing evolution. Comics are constantly developing new material and perspectives. It’s a lifelong journey.
The path of the stand-up comic requires dedication, courage and creativity. Use these insights from those who have come before to help guide your comedy journey.
