New York is a place that can grind you down and spit you out. A true New Yorker doesn't get ground down, he gets polished.

Probably all of my advice is bad advice.

Improv requires your audience to be informed about what improv is. With stand-up, anybody can sit down and watch stand-up and laugh at jokes.

I'm just going to keep doing comedy because I don't know what else to do. I have no other applicable skills.

It's so much harder to make a living off improv. Improv is so rarified and for such a specific audience.

I put so much energy into with improv. You can only perform it at a place where people are, essentially, taking improv classes so that they just appreciate what's happening.
