When I was little, somehow my name was carved by an alien (sure) into the bright yellow seat of my favorite (yes, it was an Eames) rocker. That funny memory was for me, the start of collecting 20th century modern.
If this a new hobby or not, excitement and momentum can be the driving force in collecting great mid centu... Read more

You’ve finally gotten tired of your boring nine to five work and decided to become a comedian. You think you have that great talent which would make audiences burst out in laughter. For someone like you that enjoys humor, it’s an appealing job. But how exactly do you go from an everyday person to full-fledged comedian?
The first step on your journey to become a comedian is to study the greats that have come before you. You can do this by making videos of stand-up routines done by well known comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Explore how they go about their routines and why they are funny. Explore about timing and notice how every comic has a different persona. Being different is the ultimate goal that could ensure you getting laughs. The next step to become a comedian is to write your own routine. Write everyday about what you know and then put a comedic spin into it. Go with what interests you and what interests other people. Musical gags, celebrity impersonations, and the use of props are just some of the things that you could do in your routine. Take note of having setups as transitions from one joke to another. The next step to become a comedian is to train for the stage. Taking improvisational acting classes and public speaking classes can help make you a better performer. You must have confidence on stage. Memorize your routine and run it with a test audience. Make changes to your routine based on the reactions that you get. Also, be prepared for those that would heckle you during your routine. To become a comedian is to have a thick skin and taking everything with a grain of salt. To become a comedian, you have to perform somewhere. You can begin by joining open mics to see how you are received. The practice you get from performing for different audiences can represent your growth as a comedian. Once you’ve mastered the open mics, you can now head to the big comedy clubs. But to become a comedian that would be deemed, at the very least, good, you need to avoid some amateur mistakes like thinking you can do better than others before you, thinking you can be famous easily, reacting badly to hecklers, talking badly about other comedians. Remember that to become a comedian requires a lot of patience and persistence. Persistence is key. It’s a hard road as it does not necessarily bring in big money. But if you have the qualities for the job, you should know how to have fun along the way.
