In addition to Dave\u2019s credits, each of the twenty-five lectures includes a real-life example related to the topic. In other words, there is a lot of name-dropping by sharing lessons and experiences from well-known (and some legendary) comedians about what methods worked for them, and sometimes &#8211; what didn\u2019t. And since this is comedy (don\u2019t forget) it is meant to be informative and entertaining at the same time. A good description would be infotainment.<\/p>\n<p>Personal creativity, sense of humor, desire to make others laugh, and your ability to laugh and have fun are the key ingredients in this course. Your success as a working comic is the goal. Whether you\u2019ve been looking for a way to break into comedy or to take your career to the next level, there are no more excuses. <strong>Let\u2019s take that important next step together.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5776-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5776-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5776-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><div id=\"panel-5776-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743-5776\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.udemy.com\/course\/how-to-be-a-working-comic\/?referralCode=3CA50A4434D7BFB591F3\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/thecomedybook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preview-This-Course.png\" width=\"682\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecomedybook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preview-This-Course.png 682w, https:\/\/thecomedybook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preview-This-Course-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" title=\"Udemy Online Course\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5776-4-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedy is a serious business, with a lot of laughs.
