A career as a comic after 40

Post by damira33 »

Hello people. I met a guy recently who wants to become a comedian. He has always been funny but I wonder if starting a career after 40 as a comic is a good idea. People like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy had to pay their dues and I am not sure if this is a wise decision on his part. I worry about him because he has been to lots of auditions and has even gotten some work but a career as a comic after 40...well unless you guys have a different opinion, I just don,t see it.

JTF,

I beat you all. I was talking with another comic who's been doing it for four years. His age? 77.

Yeah...it's just not right that a man that age is using hack 69 jokes....
