How Do You Become a Comedian?

Note:  just changed some settings with this podcast and iTunes.   Some listeners may find this a re-broadcast… please accept our apologies.   Or Bad!

How Do You Become a Comedian? In this podcast we join corporate comedian David Glickman as he tells us about his first paid job as a comedian. Believe it or not, he got this job in the newspaper Help Wanted pages: “Wanted: Comedian.” Can you believe it?

What follows is a crazy and true story about the first of David’s 2000+ experiences as a comedian. The short story is that he was the “voice” behind a remote-controlled robot that visited high-end parties in Southern Florida in the 1970s. With a microphone and a headset, he could hear what people would say to this robot, and then with his microphone he could “answer” back. Wanna find out what happens when this budding comedian meats the ultra hot (at the time anyway) rock star, Meatloaf? I won’t give the story away, but suffice it to say that it was funny, and that it earned the comedian a raise.

Listen to the entire podcast. (Scroll down!) Thanks David!

  1. Hi there I have just one question to ask you I’m srry if you just expect more than one just one freakin question but it is the only question I could think of. So anyways time to not think of some thing funny that is probaly not that funny so time to get serious. I went to this acting and drama school years ago and I recived a certificate will this certificate get me in the movie comedian buisness and if not let me know how. Ok thanks

  2. Howdy Jonathan. Nope…the bad news is that having a certificate doesn’t help you in the biz. Mostly you have to be good… really good. Marketing becomes important too, but.. alas, the certificate won’t help you.

    Sorry dude!
