When can you call yourself a "stand-up comedian"

Is the theme of this blog, it also has a poll at the end of it and so would benefit from your interactions. Whether you perform stand-up comedy or not.

I'll read that when I get home. Personally, I tell people I'm an amateur standup. Cause I'm a dick.

Actually, that's a lie. I haven't told anyone I'm an amateur standup. I would though.

Great blog by the way!

I don't like the term "comedian" so I tell people I'm a "zing bringer".

Yeah but you're a ball bag.

I call myself a "Zinger Tower!"

continuing.................I'd call myself tower of babble

Aah this is a good game

I'd be

Babblicious

I'd say you call yourself a standup comedian when you do it full time.

Eight hours a day?

I'd say when you average 3 gigs a month paid or unpaid.

There's a great many decent stnadups who don't get paid.

I'm not one of them.

When you're willing to pay the £200+ extra on your car insurance to have yourself listed as a "Stand Up Comedian".

Tony has it.

If you wanted to send me spiralling into a 24 hour crying cycle, mission accomplished.

Hooray! I'm on commission; I get 3.50 for every hour of searing emotional torment, so I'm in the money!
