CREATING CONTENT

As stand up comedians, like other art forms now, much of our "worth" to our respective industries is tied to social media. How many followers do you have on (insert platform)? What is your engagement? It ties into what the industry believes your marketability will be for ticket sales (live shows) or projects where you can be a part of. On one level it makes sense, since its a way for gatekeepers to determine if you can help them. On the other hand, it is frustrating since art is sometimes lost in the mad dash to create and put our content that will be consumed.
I have been struggling with what I want to put up and in the end, I have decided that if I enjoy making it (or at least don't mind making it), it is worthy of being blasted out in the world. Sadly, for comedy right now, stand up clips seem to be taking a back step to other forms of comedy content. There is just too much stand up on social media right now. I have some projects in the works that are consistent with my comedy and I hope you can follow me on the other social media I am pushing out there. Even a "follow" helps demonstrate my worth.

Also if you like my stuff, or any other people who do comedy or make music, whatever, the best thing you can do it share it with others. It doesn't cost you anything and its very easy. You may be surprised how much a simple "share" of a clip is worth to the all mighty algorithm. #standup #comedy #socialmedia
