    Avoid the Mistakes Often Made by Amateurs

    Make sure you avoid some of these mistakes that a lot of novice comedians often do:

    Getting overly confident. Observing some bad comedian performers onstage and getting cocky enough to immediately assume that you can dish out a much better performance. Remember that it you cannot be an instant celebrity overnight. It would take a lot of trial and errors and countless hours of practice to be a successful comedian.

    Getting impatient. As mentioned earlier, success will never be instantly attained, even by the most gifted artist and performers. You will realize that most of the celebrity comedians we look up to have actually earned their long anticipated glory after grueling days of hard work and extraordinary determination. Don’t think that by getting some really good crowd that you will instantly get your very own TV sitcom.

    Badmouthing or maligning other comedians. Although you can positively acknowledge that the competition in the industry can be really hard. Don’t stop so low as to resort to backstabbing your contemporaries. Always try to keep it clean, other will appreciate you for it. You will never know who will be in the perfect position to either help you further your career, or who will maliciously put you down. It would however help to avoid any bad blood or grudges.

    Resort to blaming your audience if the show turned sour. People pay to get a good laugh; you therefore owe them a decent show, to say the least. If unexpectedly your routine is ruined due to some rowdy people in the crowd, remember that it’s part of the package. Try to focus more on yourself and your performance and never blame anyone else.

    Badly reacting to hecklers and jeers from the crowd. The creed for most comedians is “don’t get mad, use humor as an effective tool to get even”. Some can be obnoxious, especially if they had too much to drink. Never take their putdowns personally. It’s all in the name of good fun.

    Money Issues

    It is not a generally good idea if you enter into the comedy profession just solely for money, you can probably find other more rewarding jobs out there.

    It takes a lot of dedication, commitment and of course the interest in entertaining people to survive in this industry. If you have an exceptional knack for dishing out great jokes, you can entertain the thought of doing some stand up comedies, or other professional performances in corporate conventions, in luxury cruises and other any venues for you to show off your talent and make a decent living at the same time.

    You might be interested to know that based on the labor statistics of the United States, the annual wage of independent performers, which include professional comedians is to an average of $ 44,430. So reassess your priorities and evaluate your chances before actually wading into the world of comedy.

    Keep in mind that the key in the industry is staying longer rather than racing your way to the top. Of course, it would be great if you get enough exposure to catch the interest of big producers and creating a name for yourself. But don’t be in a hurry in your pursuit for success. It will eventually come if you try hard enough.

    Meanwhile, make sure to enjoy every minute of your journey! You will undoubtedly meet a lot of people that will enrich your life, and hopefully contribute in making you more effective in your chosen career.
