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