He’s not wrong, Comedy is a very frustrating place. It’s full of stupid politics, people who don’t deserve success getting tons of it, and some of the phoniest people you will ever meet.
I’ve only been in it for 8 years, which is very much rookie status, but I have still witnessed first hand a lot of bullshit. It’s hard sometimes to keep your eye on the goal of simply just being funny, because time after time you realize that being funny doesn’t really have a lot to do with being successful as a comedian.
It’s a lot of ass kissing, making fake friends, and pretending like you care about things that you really don’t care about. It’s pretty gay and is enough to make most aspiring comedians hate comedy, but I’m still clinging to my passion for it.
