My dream is to be a comedian..but im not funny at all..what do i do?

Answer 1

lol:  Your question is a great opening line.

All you have to do next, is stay funny for 15 minutes, or so.  That's enough to get you nightclubs.

Go for it.

Answer 2

If your not funny then GIVE UP and save yourself the embarressment.

Answer 4

Answer 5

don't be a comedian

Answer 6

It helps to be an ethnic with scars. Instead of complaining about it, turn it around to a series of jokes. Rodney Dangerfield made a joke out of being a klutz. Pat Cooper tells the story of growing up poor in Little Italy. His rendition of Army experiences is hilarious. This is a common thread in the lives of comedians.

Answer 7

Well here is my suggestion, I think you should just start out small. Even though your not funny make people laugh. Sometimes acting dizty or a complete clutz makes people laugh. That's starting out small. Soon you can tell people funny things about other people. Such "why do house wives always have to be so decorative, they put everything in order. I go into my bathroom and she has everything in pink I cant p**s in peace when I am surrounded by cows in the other bathroom. Those little towels that they hang and don't touch them. I have wiped everything with that towel even the floor." Sometimes it makes people laugh sometimes it doesn't but I wasn't trying to be funny there I was trying to just show you an example. Good Luck and remember first try to make people laugh then start thinking of funny reality things that people tend to do. Like Bush the guy makes up words for goodness sake.

Answer 8

Follow your dream n get funny! It might not be the easiest. Most funny people grow up with personalities that make them funny. They're funny their whole life. I would first decide what type of comedy/material you want to do, and what type of audience (you don't want to offend anyone). From there its a matter of learning what is funny to whom, and the right time to be funny. You shouldn't be afraid to be outspoken with funny jokes/comments, try as much material as you can without being annoying.  Don't try to imitate other comedians, learn what you have and use it to your advantage, what works for them might not work for you. It will take a lot of trial and error and hard work, but hey, its your DREAM!, so that shouldn't matter right?

best of luck!
