Okay so I’m thinking about doing stand up comedy

Second City apparently has classes (moving to Chicago soon). My schtick would be “entitled bpd foid” (so I don’t have to “stretch”). Has anyone here done standup? I had a work friend who almost got on last comic standing but that’s it.

Be open to a life of being shit on for 10 years while working 60+ hours per week on your comedy craft. After that, you might make it. Maybe.

I will say this though. Captivating a crowd by speech is wondrous. The applause is supremely gratifying. Think of how the Greats like Hitler and Mussolini felt. Simply wondrous.

I’ve been told a bunch irl to do stand up. I was thinking more as a hobby than anything.

Have fun and treat it like a hobby at open mic nights. See how it feels.

To get better, you'll have to write jokes, fail hard, improve them, get new material, and maybe you'll have a solid 5 minutes worth. Many of the great comedians are depressed and angry, if that tells you anything.

If you just need public affirmation, I suggest stripping as a more gender appropriate alternative.

Second City is improv, not standup. But if they do offer standup classes, take them to help you get over your nerves and learn how to time your jokes/work the crowd. Also, get a podcast going that talks about your career in standup comedy because no one's ever done that before.

Edit: Go to open mic nights and watch the amateurs do okay and also blunder through their sets. This will help lower your expectations of greatness but also realize that everyone fails at first so you will fail as well. Have fun bartending, serving tables, handing out flyers, and doing shit jobs for the next ten years while you hone your craft. Best of luck!

My favorite joke is to start screaming into the mic have you ever heard your neighbors having s*x in the apartment next to you and started jacking off and then half way thru you notice it’s a baby crying but you don’t stop

Try homesteading or onlyfans. The potential for crossover will lead to greater likelihood of success. Women don't belong in comedy.
