Why Become a Professional Comedian?

Video Transcript

"Why did I become a comedian? Because, I have noticed that the comedy world was lacking real humor. So, I wanted. I'm joking. I became a comedian because it makes me laugh. I like laughing. I have a great sense of humor. I've always respected comedy and I want to share my views and what I see with everyone else. I like to call it the angry point of view. But, that's just what I do. I like jokes. I like humor. I like the lighter side of life. I think people choose serious and I want to show people that you can have a little bit of fun in your life and still have a quality way of living. I decided to become a comedian ever since I could crawl. Since I was a little boy, I knew I was going to be a comedian. No, I'm joking. I didn't know I was going to be a comedian until I was an adult. That's a good question you should ask. A lot of people think because I'm a comedian, I knew I was going to be a comedian my whole entire life. No, I never dreamed of being a comedian before the first day I went to a comedy club. At the age of twenty-three, was the first time I ever went to a comedy club and got bit. I mean, it was addictive to me. And, that's the first time I ever decided to become a comedian at the age of twenty-three. Because, before then I was in the military and I was a very serious person. But, humor changed my life. Thank you comedy, I love you. The biggest challenge I overcome as a comedian, I think were the boos. Because, when you first start out sometimes you. The biggest challenge weren't really the boos, it was matching my mind. Because, how I saw myself in my own mind versus to what I was doing actually on stage. Which, is why I strongly recommend people record your sets. Because, I would think something in my mind but as it was coming out what people would see wouldn't always match what I was doing. So, record yourself. Look at yourself. Because, a lot of times what you think you're doing isn't what you're actually doing. And, work on it. Work on your facial expressions. Facial expressions are very, very important and very funny. Sometimes, people won't even laugh at the joke they'll laugh at the face or the inflection that you do and the expression that you do. Work on your timing, because that's very important as well."
