What you need
And here it comes, but, to make it in the entertainment industry as a comedian takes a lot of hard work, practice, writing, stamina,a hard outer shell and a really good agent. It also takes a lot of determination, drive, and the ability to live out of a suitcase on hardly any money until that big break comes along. Either that or the aspiring comedian must still live at home with Mom and Dad, or have a spouse that believes in them and pays all the bills.
It might also help to move to New York City or California to live in an area where an aspiring comedian can work and live, and get a lot of great exposure. Living in a big city a comedian can have access to many more comedy clubs than a person living in a small town would. Therefore, the funny person can create a larger following and get more attention, recognition, and possibly even access to getting noticed.

What you have to do

If you don't aspire to becoming the next BIG thing, then you can make a decent living working as a comedian. But, you will have to practice, practice , practice. Utilize your friends and family as guinea pigs and try your new jokes out on them. Sometimes this might not be a good idea though, because they may love you so much, and they try to make you feel good, even though the jokes aren't funny.
Take the show on the road! Take a notebook and a pen to a public place. Sit down in the park, or a mall or a restaurant and just watch people. Become very observant of what kinds of people there are, and what they do. When you are truly humorous, you will see humor in everything around you. You will see the humor in everything you do and what everyone else does.

Men are always telling jokes about how they don't understand how women can be called the weaker sex, when women have complete say so in a marriage.
Comedians are funny people that want to make lots of money telling jokes. Work hard, be determined, write every day, practice your craft, get an agent, move to a big city.
