Answer 1

Do open mike nights when you are old enough (I imagine they're all over-18).

A college course for comedians? You're right. You are funny! :-)

Answer 2

Try doing stand up in clubs or on the street. Post videos on youtube. Make a blog. Any way you can get people to see you is great.

Answer 3

You will have to wait until you are over 18 before you'll be given a chance...but don't let that stop you keeping a note book of ideas for comedy skits.

Once you are old enough, try hanging around the local comedy clubs. Find out how the main comperes are, and ask them for a quick 10/15 min slot. As someone else mentioned, open mics would also be a good idea.

Once you start, keep at it. If you have a bad set, don't let it put you off. You won't know if its right for you until you've been on stage a few times.

Best of luck!
