A GUIDE TO BEING A COMEDIAN Dave July 13, 2013 Blogs 1-Do not drink alcohol and mention to everyone you meet that you were an alcoholic. It shows macho-ness and makes you seem more interesting. Also, look down on people who enjoy drinking and make them feel like the alcoholic you are. 2-Bitch constantly about not getting gigs, at the gigs you have gotten. 3-Do not enjoy yourself. You need to take the job of joke telling very seriously. 4-Reserve any personality or social skills for the stage and as soon as you hear your final round of applause go back to your mundane sociopathic self. 5-Network- even if it means abandoning friends, loved ones, pride 6-Lick ass- A comedians breath must constantly smell of freshly licked ass. 7-When in the company of other comics talk constantly about yourself, you are not allowed to talk about any other topic. 8-Jokes, whether funny or not have a use by date of ten years. 9-Always carry a knife. You never know when the opportunity will arise to stick it into a colleagues back. 10-Confidence- A silent audience does not mean that you are a crap comedian. You dont really need jokes. Once you have confidence then you can trick your audience into laughing at you. Tweet
