"Hey, I'm Larry Omaha. Professional stand up comedian. I'm here to talk about how you can become a professional stand up comedian. How did I get my first job. How did I get into this business. Well I had been writing jokes for three years before I ever got on stage. Then finally I saw an ad for a comedy competition and I entered. So for the first time I got up on stage and I told these jokes that I had been working on for three years. I won the competition. I was hired by the club owner to be the opening act for a band, singers, for two weeks and I thought I'd died and went to heaven. I'll never forget, I think they paid me twenty five dollars a show. I was very happy. It was fantastic. So that was my entry in to the show business. Most comedians start doing their act unpaid at audition nights, open mike nights, coffee houses, etc. and they strive to get in to that opening slot which is called the opening act and they travel to all the different clubs being an opening act and that is the first level of being a paid professional comedian."
