Becoming a Comedian

[Lucid_Nightlight 923]

If there is one thing I want to do in my life, it's to become a comedian. The only problem is that I don't know where to start. I have many ideas for material and all that, but I just don't know where to start. Is there a place I can go to do a couple acts and test the waters? Should I try standing out on the street with a money bucket and tell jokes with an amp and a microphone?

 

This is my problem. I know what I want to do for a career, but I don't know where to start. Making a LOT of money won't come overnight, I understand that, but where can I start on that path? I've done miniature comedy acts for some friends, but I'm looking for bigger audiences.

 

I have the jokes and the routines, but not a place to do them at. How do I sign up for this stuff? I mean, don't think I'm in the comedian thing just for the money. I mean yes, thats one part of it, but its more than just that. I want to be able to make a living off of something I really enjoy doing.

You could start a youtube channel and go from there there's a lot of big comedians who got their start online and you'd be seen world wide so you'd have a bigger audience it may start slow as with anything, but you'll get more and more views.
