How Do You Pursue A Career In Stand Up Comedy?
• Attend some stand up shows for research. This will help you to decide what style of comedy you wish to pursue. • Participate in an Open Mic night at a local comedy venue. Do a search and give them a call. • You need to continue with this until you get spotted by an agent or venue. • If it’s an agent he will find you work, take whatever you can for the meantime, sometimes the travel costs will be more than the money you earn, but it is definitely worth the experience and getting yourself out there. • Start off as one of the support acts to the main card, you need to persevere and eventually if you are funny enough you will move up the card. Find a comedy event. One of the main comedy events in the UK is the Edinburgh Comedy festival – this is essential over here to achieve fame, a lot of the stars of today and yesterday have come from here.
