I suspect that those relative few who do eventually “make it” financially in this field do so as a result of patiently honing and refining their product while it is still their first love, their passion, their obsession. The money, I would suggest, comes because of that final polished and perfected product, the 18-seconds-of-laughter-per-minute that we are all hoping to attain.

Comedy seems so simple. People are always trying to make comedy so complex with all these different formulas and theories. Steve, you are really doing comedy good. It is all about laughter and smiles.

Comedy clubs are great gigs when you can get them. But the real money in stand-up comedy is working outside the comedy club market. The gigs I list on my corporate comedy secrets website are real gigs out of hundreds I did in the corporate comedy arena.

The “sweet spot” in stand-up comedy is to be able to entertain in ANY market. 🙂
