On Being a Comedian - General / Unsorted jokes (60238)





 


People are always coming up to us after shows and asking how we became comedians. None of us has a satisfactory answer, but I believe I have the best of the lot.



I believe that a person becomes a comedian the same way a woman becomes a prostitude. First you do it for fun, then you do it for a few friends, then you think, "I might as well get paid for this stuff."



Being a comedian is like being married to a nymphomaniac: it's great for about two weeks.



Now I find myself telling people stories, and they give me money. Then a financial advisor tells me stories, and I give him money.



It's a vicious circle.
