Comments on: Is Your Stand-up Comedy “Posse” Holding You Back? http://realfirststeps.com/standupcomedysecrets/free/standup-comedy-posse-holding How To Become A Comedian | Learn Stand-up Comedy Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:18:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lucky http://realfirststeps.com/standupcomedysecrets/free/standup-comedy-posse-holding/comment-page-1#comment-677 Lucky Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:35:08 +0000 http://realfirststeps.com/standupcomedysecrets/?p=1309#comment-677 Once I had the opportunity to speak with a young fellow (probably in his late 20's or early 30's) who was a manager of a comedy club. He spent time complaining to me that every comic who came thru his major metro city comedy club would hang out with him and the staff after the show ended. Everyone except Tim Allen who he was convinced felt he was too good to hang out with staff. Now this was right before Allen had his tv show, so this story goes way back. However, I'm older and have been in the business world longer than this young chap and knew immediately why Allen didn't hang out with the staff afterwards. It had to do with his focus...and probably his desire to stay fresh and not wake up dead tired after a night of probably drinking and hanging out. So, your article makes total sense to me and, I hope, everyone else that's younger that is reading it. Thanks for the article as it's right on the money in my eyes.
