I have to admit, being a comedian is pretty bad ass. There are a lot of nice perks of the job. Besides the most obvious perk of unlimited drinks, you also get to travel the world, make the occasional TV appearance, and we get paid to make people laugh (usually). Pretty bad ass if you ask me.
However, no job is perfect. I have to remind myself of this every time an audience member starts telling me a "Priest walks into a bar" joke, or when I'm staying at a "comedy condo" and I find a condom on the mattress, or when a barber in Edmonton starts taking pictures of me because "You've been on TV, eh?". That being said, it beats having to wake up at 7am and sit at a desk all day. I love my job, and most of all I love all the ridiculous people you meet along the way...
