Some start on the comedy circuit in their late teens and early twenties.

Maybe it’s easier then because they have no fear of rejection or being called ‘unfunny’.

At that age it must be tough finding enough material to create an act, but, that said,

if they have the right attitude to help them hold an audiences attention  – which is

something that must be learned over time – and can put together 15/20 minutes of

really funny material, they can make a decent living on the comedy circuit – all the

time adding new material to build up their act.

Some don’t find their comedy ‘ feet ‘ until they go to university – or maybe years

later when they get bored with their dull nine-to-five jobs and want the chance to ‘ fulfil

themselves as performers ‘.

Which is another way of saying that they want to do something more interesting,

earn pots of money, meet lots of beautiful women and, eventually, buy a big house

and write their memoirs which will be made into a film starring Johnny Depp  or

George Clooney as themselves.

Nothing  wrong with that.  Why do you think I became a comedian?

Well I’m just about to tell you… (to be continued).
