Quick question:
Do you think that adopting a "stage name" is a good idea? There is a comedy club in the city I am in that does open mics, but people in the audience tend to put up iphone vids of a lot of the sets on youtube. I have a cubicle job, so I don't want my "dirty jokes" easily found during a google search since that could limit employment opportunities if my sets are easily found (especially since I won't even know if I am any good unless I do lots of open mics).
Thoughts?
That is my biggest concern honestly. It is hard to be a public school teacher and good comedian. I could go the Bill Cosby route but that would suck.
I really hate this professional image we have to uphold to our employers. It is as if I am living in a dictatorship where I can't even say what I want outside of work. What the fuck.
