So You're a Comedian? Part One
So you're a comedian? What do you really do? It's the only profession that people will question. Someone could say they are a doctor and we would just be like, "Oh wow! What do you practice?" Say that you are a comedian and you are likely to be challenged immediately. There is no particular process you have to go through to become a comedian, there's no school or degree required, just hard work, and consistently bringing the funny. Let's say you're doing the work and being consistent, it is still very hard to figure out what the next level is supposed to be or how to get there.

Being a Professional Screwball: Getting the Gig, Keeping the Gig, and the Best Advice I Ever Got
If you are reading this you probably relate to all 3: I had a great set, I'm feeling great, I'm want this again. Comedy all day every day. I had a bad set, I should probably quit, I'm never good at anything, hey at least the telephone poles are on my side of the street, I could just end it with one turn of this car. I don't really want to die, and definitely not on stage. How do I get better and get more gigs?

Comedy Open Mic Formats & Etiquette
When you are new to comedy it can be a lot of information to take in and a ton of absolute hot garbage advice will be given so freely. I'm writing these articles in an attempt to help a new aspiring comedian to hopefully be able to navigate the beginning a little bit easier.

I Want to Try Stand-Up Where Do I Start?
There's a million reasons why people want to start doing comedy, and it's hard to figure out where to begin. Big names like Kevin Hart and Sarah Silverman didn't just instantly sell out shows, they weren't immediately cast into movies, or stars of their own TV shows. They started their career where everybody does... the dreaded open mic.
