    You SUCK at Standup - Is there money in standup comedy?

    Welcome to the very first episode of You Suck at Standup with comedian Rudy Pavich. If you're a comic who's ever bombed on stage, questioned your career, obsessed over a bad set, wondered how to get an agent, or tried to survive on gas station coffee and club food—you've found your people. In this debut episode, Rudy shares the first rule of stand-up comedy: everybody bombs. From open mic beginners to comedy legends, nobody escapes bad sets. He also pulls back the curtain on the reality of life as a working road comic—the travel, the thin margins, the hustle, the sacrifices, and why he wouldn't trade it for a corporate job. Topics include: 🎤 Why bombing isn't the end of the world 🎤 Advice for comics in smaller markets 🎤 The financial reality of touring stand-up 🎤 Why followers matter more than talent (sometimes) 🎤 Getting an agent (or not) 🎤 Building a comedy career one show at a time 🎤 Lessons learned after years on the road Whether you're a seasoned comedian, a new comic, or just someone curious about what life in stand-up is really like, this podcast is for you. Subscribe and join the journey as we figure out this ridiculous business together. 📅 Tour Dates & Tickets: RudyComedy.com 📸 Instagram: @rudy_pavich #StandUpComedy #ComedyPodcast #YouSuckAtStandup #RudyPavich #ComedianLife #OpenMic #ComedyAdvice #StandupComedian #ComedyBusiness #RoadComic Learn more about your ad choices.
