Stand-up comedians do something extraordinary for a living. They stand up in front of large groups of people and make them laugh. It can be nerve-racking and progress up the career ladder is by no means guaranteed. On the other hand, many stand-up comedians go on to find great fame and fortune from their working life, often branching out into TV, radio and print. Stand-up comedian Rudi Lickwood presents a comprehensive guide on how to become a comedian, get an agent, get gigs, write jokes and crucially, make people laugh.
