I am not exactly swimming in money since deciding to pursue the lights of the stages as an entertainer.
It’s a option I made years ago plus I knew it wouldn’t be an easy path.
Besides not making a lot of money, some of the hard moments on stage could twist the stomach into knots of the most seasoned artists. I know I have done almost 2000 comedy sets plus I bet I bombed on about 790 of them. I should write a book of all of our exhausting experiences while doing stand up. It would be a thick book. If I chose the path of an Heating plus A/C repairman it would have been much easier on our ego, however I’m sure I wouldn’t be cheerful just cleaning oil heating systems plus a/cs all afternoon long. Occasionally we have to go out on our own plus get beat up a little bit to find what it is we were meant to do. I can’t imagine just working on heating plus all afternoon when deep down inside I want to be on a stage doing comedy. Don’t get myself and others wrong, there is nothing wrong with doing a “normal” job if that is what you are split out to do. Therefore, if you are working at an Heating plus A/C company all afternoon however you love playing the guitar, you won’t ever be satisfied. Try to find what it is that moves you inside plus figure out how to do it for a residing or at least for a interest. You’ll be much happier in the end.
