So how does a comedian go from no stage time to a Showtime comedy special in 5 years without performing in comedy clubs?

Well, if you ask comedian J.R. Redwater, one of the rising comedy stars in the upcoming Showtime presentation American Indian Comedy Slam in November 2009…

J.R. will tell you without hesitation that his success is largely due to the Killer Stand-up Comedy System. And his story is no less than inspirational.

I got an opportunity to chat with J.R. on the phone yesterday for a bit in spite of his hectic schedule and I was totally amazed at the comedy success this young man has managed to carve out for himself in a short period of time outside the traditional comedy club route.

It was just over 6 years ago that J.R. Redwater’s life was in complete ruin. In desperation and with few options available to him, he turned to stand-up comedy, consuming the Killer Stand-up Comedy System and becoming a consulting client at the very beginning of his comedy career.

In just 3 years, J.R. was earning an annual 6 figure income from stand-up comedy.

In just 5 years, he is now being featured on the American Indian Comedy Slam which will air in Nov 2009. He’s #6 of seven comedians in the line up, right before Larry Omaha.

Sidenote: Larry Omaha and myself opened for one another at various venues throughout Southern California in the mid 90′s — he’ s a talented performer who can work any position on the comedy stage.

I should also mention, Vaughn Eagle Bear who is also featured in this Showtime comedy special is also a Killer Stand-up Comedy System client. Again, another funny comedian.

Now I would keep a very close eye on J.R. Redwater, especially since this super funny comedian maintains a super high PAR Score (FYI: J.R. monitors his PAR Scores closely).

Here’s a video of comedian J.R. Redwater — if you have the Comedy Evaluator Pro software, check out his PAR Score. I measured it three times and the lowest PAR Score I recorded was 62 (37 seconds of laughter per minute), which is the highest PAR Score I have ever recorded for ANY comedian:
