Comedy is not business, it’s an art — I Go Dye

Here are excerpts of  a recent interview he had from Vanguard and should be a food for thought for upcoming comedians  :

How  is the comedy business?
Well, it’s fine.  Although, it is not really a business, it is an art that is enjoying intellectual equity, providing a platform for social restructuring and promoting core moral values through  hilarious means. There is remuneration from the art but I can’t call it business.


What does it take to be a successful comedian?
Every work of art requires preparation and development. Comedy is not exceptional in this regards. Although some comedians have inherent natural attributes but the ability to combine this gift with constituency requires research, work of art and determination.
