Is it possible to turn a normal factory worker into a working comic.

misplacedfate,

No a non-working comic becomes a factory worker, or a spokesperson for a collect calling company.

misplacedfate,



Funny is something that has to be inside of you its not something that you can pick from a book or a class.

misplacedfate,
I don't think you can learn funny. You have it or you don't. You can, however, groom funny to become a comic. It's an art that must be studied and crafted. You can paint watercolors on the weekends, but it doesn't make you a Degas.

fuckers,

well, i think if you have the desire to do it.. and you actually do it. you may learn how funny you are.

if you dont think you are funny... you just may need to go through a little more trial and error.


but really what it comes down to is this... it better to regret something you have done, than something you havent.

take the principle of least regret and see what happens.

I think it's like anything else in life. The more you do it the better you get. At least I hope that's how it works.
