Do you want to be a stand up comic/comedian as your career?

Yes (I am, or am trying to become, a full-time comic)

Based on your previous response of yes, no, or maybe; please tell us why?

Because being a writer and performer (I also act in theatre and film) has been my life long dream I even got my first degree in theatre. But I was too scared of being able to financially provide for my family and the necessary sacrifices that I needed to make. However I am 40, it’s about time I live my life for myself and give my daughter a example of chasing after your dreams.
