The other three are mentioned in this video, but often the word &#8220;bio&#8221; causes a bit of confusion. What should it say, how long should it be and what is it used for? It&#8217;s about marketing and promoting, and giving talent bookers and audiences an idea of &#8220;who you are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-6\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-6-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-7\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-7-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3833-7-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">How To Be A Working Comic #37<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3833-4\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GPeB-q0ZITQ?_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GPeB-q0ZITQ\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/GPeB-q0ZITQ<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-3833-7-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3833-7-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">The Best Place To Start<\/h3>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>An aspiring comedian asked where is the best place to start doing comedy. He&#8217;s thinking about New York City, but might be leaning more toward Los Angeles. Is one a better choice than the other? Considering who gets the most stage time in the spotlights of these showbiz cities and experiences two working comics shared in my first book, there&#8217;s a better place to start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3833-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"9\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">How To Be A Working Comic #36<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3833-5\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DRcO8CuO73s?_=5\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DRcO8CuO73s\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/DRcO8CuO73s<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-3833-9-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3833-9-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Know Your Audience<\/h3>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>A comedian was confused about cancel culture and doing a &#8220;clean&#8221; act. Two recent shows were stopped because his material was considered offensive and not what the audiences expected. Most working comics rely on experience to avoid these situations &#8211; and advice from a legendary comedian even spelled it out word-for-word. He won&#8217;t be quoted since &#8220;clean&#8221; is a key word in this episode, but I&#8217;ll share thoughts on how aspiring comedians (on the way to becoming all-powerful headliners) can gain more valuable on-stage experience and the importance of knowing your audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-10\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-10-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3833-11\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3833-11-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3833-11-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">For more How To Be A Working Comic videos&#8230;<\/h3>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>Visit my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/DaveSchwensen\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong> channel AND be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/DaveSchwensen\"><strong>subscribe<\/strong><\/a> so you won&#8217;t miss any future episodes.
