Comical Me

[Blake_Wildfong]

My mom says I'm not funny. My dream is to become a comedian. How do I achieve this dream? How can I become funny? Thank you in advance

If they laugh at your dreams, that's a start.

Otherwise, practice, practice, practice. Be prepared to go to some open mic shows, do a turn, and work out how to deal with both failure and success. Hone you act. And spend time improving writing funny material.

Thank you, Old_Geezer! Your name should be old wise man!

Be careful - are you, or can you become, thick-skinned (emotionally robust) enough to survive as a comic ? Your other posts suggest you've got a long way to go. But if you do continue on that path, then good luck.

P.S. Your Mom is not an ideal judge (Moms never are).

As Bob Monkhouse (Who? says you!) used to say. People laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well they're not laughing now!

'Mom' canary? Another Americanism creeping in. We've always said mum!

Great name for a comic.

Observe life. It's hilarious :-)

Live a little longer, watch people around you, listen. It's where you find your material. Look at what makes people laugh, and remember all the great comedians had a style of their own. Good luck
