On the way to the goal here are 5 principles of a professional comedy writer or performer that can help guide you to your ultimate goal.
A couple of things off the bat. One of the best pieces of advice I received in comedy is "Treat yourself like a professional now, otherwise nobody else will."
This is my driving truth and underlying that truth are these five principles.
