My father once told me that what makes a good job is enjoying what you do, who you do it with, and what you get paid to do it--and unless you're happy with at least two of the three, you won't be happy with the job.

I don't agree with Doug Stanhope's advice about not ever giving comedy advice, as there's plenty about comedy that applies to every comic. For example, don't invite a whole bunch of your friends to your first show. If you invited all your friends to watch you take your first driver's lesson, they'd probably laugh at you. And if you invite them to see your first stand-up performance, they probably won't.
