I do stand up comedy, get a couple gigs per month (~1500$), sometimes I get more sometimes less. Every sunday I shut myself off to write, and perform on weekdays, been doing this for 7 years now and it only started to pay for about 2 years.
That's great! Seems like a VERY hard job to break into--lots of discipline, learning from painful failure, and hard work. Do you have any of your comedy on Youtube?
