Tips on becoming a comedian are as follows: perseverance, dedication, belief, writing down every single time you make a person laugh. Write it down, the situation right now, what happens and take that, look at it, and go back and then work on your set. Watch your set, record your set and improve on your set until you take a two minute set and turn that two minutes into four minutes, that four minutes into five minutes, that five minutes into seven minutes, seven minutes into ten minutes, ten into fifteen, and then before you know it, you'll have a forty-five minute set, you'll have your own, you'll be on the late night shows with all the different late night hosts and you'll have a career. You'll travel, you'll get Cadillac's and then I can open for you, that's the way it goes. Funny faces, I don't really think that's funny but depending on what you're talking about. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes confused is funny. Confusion, you could be confused about something, I heard confused is good but sometimes serious is good, sometimes stern is good, sometimes looking at somebody like you just crazy, like you just came out the insane asylum is really funny. Like right now, you are laughing because this is a funny face, it's still an attractive very good looking face. Vanity is very funny too, depending on how you think because you don't want to be too vain but I love me.
