And I was way not ready– very new in stand-up. I was the first NY comic to audition for Last Comic Standing II. People have been asking me about auditioning for Last Comic Standing, so here’s what I know. * comedy slang for having a terrible show If you can’t help it, try even harder not to mention the crush to anyone.ĭon’t assume that the writer of this piece has a crush on a waitress, or that any particular booker is dating someone working at the club.ĭon’t even assume that comedy clubs HAVE waitresses. Try not to have a crush on the waitress dating the booker. This is possibly even more importantly true if one of the waitresses is dating the booker. This is especially true for the waitress you have a crush on. Not a problem… I know just what you need… come to a show!įor every person about whom you think “He’s awful, why is he getting opportunities that I’m not getting?” there’s someone else saying the same thing about you.Ĭomics, if you’re gonna eat it* on stage, try not to do it when the waitresses are in the room. But then I notice that “Magazine Editor” didn’t make the list either– maybe you’re just not that happy. Making a list of the best jobs but leaving out the creative ones is like having a list of the best places to live but excluding all the coastal states. Sure, not everybody can do my job (it takes talent as a writer and performer, plus years of practice) but neither can anybody just get into medical school, pass the bar exam or become an engineer. While there are aspects of my profession that an audience doesn’t see (marketing– working to get booked, for example) there’s nothing like getting paid to brighten people’s days. I’m a stand-up comedian and I wouldn’t trade my job for any other (not even for my high school job– working at an ice cream parlor with unlimited on-the-job eating). I was dismayed to discover that your list of the fifty best jobs didn’t include any in entertainment (and only one that was on the creative side– creative director). If you can’t tell the difference then I’m not doing my job. Some of these are funny, and some are serious.
