Do well known comedians ever really play small comedy clubs?

I've found the best comics right here on Q&A. You have to do some digging around, but the funniest people are just your average Joe.

I'm not sure about that website exactly, but you can find pretty much any video on YouTube.com. Just type in the name of the comedian and you'll get tons of funny videos. For example type in "Dane Cook" HE IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!

Nothing is off limits for them.  They do the comedy that others won't.  As evidenced by your question, some people find it funny.

They have a special category of comedy called "sit down" I think.\n\nGood Question.

No he wasn't He was a bluecoat at pontins and did stand up comedy in clubs around Britain.  He did appear as Danny Zucko in Grease for i think it was about 3 years and had his own show Seaside Special but he was never in a band....

Yes, I completely agree.  While many present-day comics are entertaining on the SURFACE, they're nowhere near the level of the legends from the past.  I'm no prude, but I get tired of obnoxious 20-something-year-old comedians prancing around on Comedy Central amid a virtual cloud of profanities, as if they thought "talent" was measured by how loud you can be and how many swear words you can use in one minute.  And furthermore, it seems these days that if you're a famous comic, you can do just about anything and the chorus of pancake-faced audience members will just applaud like morons no matter what.  Have you seen "Saturday Night Live" lately?  It's not even funny, but the people tune in to see their favorite stars anyway.\n\nWhile it may sound presumptuous, I feel that standup comedy is dying, or at least for me it is.  These days I find the majority of my entertainment in books, Internet, radio programs, and a select group of TV shows like "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and "The Office."  Comedy needs to get its act together.

I would say that the best comedians take their material  from real life. Kelsey Grammer went to Julliard.  Will Ferrell went to USC(southern california).  Where isn't as important as how much you experience there.  I would just practice, but I would suggest that you major in performance, theater or movies, with a minor in business, because it is very important that you learn how to manage yourself.  And experience as much in life as possible, the harder you struggle, the funnier it will be.

It's not that Steve Martin isn't funny himself, it's that he keeps getting himself roped into contracts (multi-picture deals) with second rate production companies (i.e. revolution studios). Unfortunately, even for legends like Steve Martin, actors, especially comedians, have a hard time finding work in films as they get older and so they have to take what they can get to some extent (and still can make quite a lot of money doing it). I don't know if that's an excuse or not, though I can't necessarily blame someone for needing/wanting whatever work they can get, but there it is. I certainly haven't enjoyed his last few films, but he's an extremely talented comedian and writer and I have a lot of respect for him despite his or his agent's recent decisions.

he does backstage work and does little cameos as you can tell. If you pay close attention on WWE dvds and sometimes on the shows when they're backstage you see wrestlers from the past working backstage

The way you worded your question implies she works as a career comedian. If this is the case, and she is as good as you say, she shouldn't be hard to find at all. simply pull up internet newspaper archives of Minn, and do a keyword search for her name in the entertainment section.

Ahem.\n\nI think you have already sucessfully caught a bunch of comedians.

Yes, all the time. I fight with myself in the streets, too. And tell myself jokes, but seldom laugh because I already know the punch line.

Don't let 'em discourage you. I hear that Kramer lost his job in stand up comedy so they might have an opening.

I agree.  The entertainment value I get is comedy : ) Then again there are the times certain people will come on and just blow you away with their talent, that's also very cool.
