About the Book

Becoming a full-time stand-up comedian isn't usually a formulaic process. Unlike college admissions, law school, or medical school, there is no predictable path. Whether you've never written a joke before or are a veteran performer looking to make this a full time profession, learn how to make stand-up comedy your full-time job, and how to make money doing it. Opportunities to perform are everywhere, but they aren't necessarily easy to find. Here an acclaimed and experienced full-time touring performer teaches you how to kickstart your career as a comedian. In this eBook, Dan Nainan shares the secrets of his business and walks readers through building their own careers in comedy.

In his job as a demo engineer with Intel Corporation, Dan toured the world with CEO Andy Grove, demonstrating the latest technology for audiences numbering into the thousands. After leaving Intel to pursue comedy full time, Dan has toured as a feature act with Robert Schimmel and Russell Peters. Dan has appeared on network television including "Last Comic Standing" as well as in feature films, on radio and in an Apple "Get a Mac" commercial, and he performed for Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida. He has performed at TED India, at a Toastmasters International convention, and he recently performed on the Muscular Dystrophy Association Labor Day Telethon live from Las Vegas. Note to readers: This eBook is a how-to guide for breaking into the world of stand-up comedy. Co-authored by stand-up comedian, Dan Nainan, and stand-up journalist, Grace DeVoll, the eBook features first-person recollections from Dan's career in the comedy industry.

The remainder of the eBook contains expert narrative on methods and practices that anyone can use to start off their stand-up comedy career.
