(80/80)
I also work like 40-50 hours a week so it gets hectic af at times but I swear I love this shit. Life is just good in general. I've only been in Miami about a year and have made so much progress I actually surprised the shit out of myself. I went from being homeless to having my own apartment, which feels so great, just to have that weight off my shoulders. I also went from being totally unknown in the comedy scene to hanging out smoking blunts with Kyle Grooms at his crib, having drinks with Larry Dogg, and performing for both of them in shows. I actually got my first paid gig from Larry Dogg. He only paid me $50, and it cost me $80 in Ubers to get there and back so I basically PAID $30 to perform, but it was still awesome lol. Also met Carlos Mencia and Dante Nero. They were polar opposites. Carlos was a total lame and just sat in the back watching our sets, but didnt say hi to anyone and left halfway through the show. Dante hung out and smoked mad blunts, talked with the comedians all night even after the show was over. Very cool and humble dude. Anyways sorry for the blogFAQs but I just feel great at the moment. I also made a couple topics about being homeless in Miami so I thought I would let you guys know I'm doing alright. --- Getting girls is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you're in! ...

Howd you manage to go from being homeless to having a job that lets you live in Miami, if I might ask? I was homeless but just went from that to being taken in by family and Ill probably be there again soon.

Howd you manage to go from being homeless to having a job that lets you live in Miami, if I might ask? I was homeless but just went from that to being taken in by family and Ill probably be there again soon. I started out by buying some body oils (small colognes/perfumes that mostly black people wear) wholesale, which made my cost on them like a dollar each. I sold them for 5 bucks a piece on South Beach for a while which nabbed me like $150 per day in profit give or take. I had to stay out in the sun all day and it was tough, had to sleep on the beach some nights and in a Hostel on other nights, but I ended up saving up like 1,000 dollars. My friend was moving out of his apartment so he just let me take over the lease. After that I got a job at a smoke shop which pays me pretty well, like 500 a week after taxes without overtime. Also my friend's apartment is in Overtown which is kinda the hood so even tho im in miami my rent is only like 750 --- Getting girls is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you're in! ...

I think you've given updates before on this. good to hear. @berlyman101 I got pretty lucky my first time and absolutely killed. It was like an out of body experience. I was like, "yeah, this is what I wanna do." The first time I bombed (a few shows later) was like the complete opposite. I was thinking to myself how stupid i how was to wlever think i could do comedy. It felt like total shit. But everyone bombs, it only makes you rewrite your jokes and become stronger. My only tip is that you HAVE to get on stage. Just write down 5 minutes of shit u think is funny, memorize it and take it on the stage. The ONLY way to get good at comedy is by actually doing it. It's tough but succeeding at it is legit the best feeling in the world. At least to me Jiek_Fafn posted...

Keep it up TC. Don't fret on getting paid $50 to open for someone, and having it cost you more to travel, those are the breaks.
I managed a fairly well known (nationally) comedy club for quite awhile, and we ran our local scene the same way. You would get nothing to start, just 3-5 minutes in an effort to get some kind of material together. Then if you were lucky (and good) you could make anywhere from $15-60 a show depending on how many minutes you did, if you were also MC or not, and what night of the week. Then if you kept at it, proved you were reliable, proved you were working on your craft, you got a chance to headline a Sunday or Monday night show, get $100, and keep getting your name out there. It wasn't a living for most of our comics, but we also had quite a few who ended up moving to LA and getting writing/acting jobs, or being taken on the road by national headliners like Ralphie May, George Lopez, Dave Chappelle, etc. As long as you're passionate about it, keep creating material, and taking as many gigs as possible, eventually you'll get paid. Or come to the realization that you just love that shit and find "real" work and just do shows for fun. --- PSN: PureWarrior11 Those who live are those who fight. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think you've given updates before on this. good to hear. The nice thing about open mic nights or new faces contests is that 99% of the people in the audience are friends/family of the other newbies trying it out for the first time. Almost everyone eats shit, so you won't be alone and the majority of the people watching won't even really know if you're funny or not. The only tip I can give is; if you think you have 3 minutes of material, you should have 6 minutes. Time moves very slowly on that stage...Practice out loud before you go up there - a lot - and time yourself every time. --- PSN: PureWarrior11 Those who live are those who fight. ...

Do you have a youtube vid of one of your bits? Nah but I almost met Hannibal Burress. He's friends with Kyle Grooms and was gonna come to a mic.

Was it literally your first? You didn't come across as nervous at all, outside of reading your jokes off your papers. Your time was spot on assuming that was supposed to be a 5 minute set.

That wasn't my first set but it was pretty early on, maybe like 5-6 sets in. Reading off the paper was kind of my early schtick but I dont use notes anymore. I had practiced that set multiple times and timed it each time, i wanted to squeeze in as many jokes as I could without going over 5 minutes. I now have a "tight 5" memorized that pretty much always kills. I use that 5 minutes for when I get guest spots to make sure that I kill for that show and make a good impression. Then i have like 10-15 minutes of other material that also works but I'm still working on in open mics and showcases. Plus I'm always trying new shit --- Getting girls is all about honesty.
