I am very frightened little man trying to make it in a business full of insecurities and heartbreaks and self delusion. I am good. I am bad. I am funny. I'm the worse you've ever seen. I am as good as it gets. Every night is a new night to succeed. Every night is a new night to fail. Good things come to those who wait but more waiting also comes to those who wait. You can be hot and go nowhere and you can be unknown and make millions plying away in obscurity. There is no right way to be a comedian. People who tell you different are lying to you. All you can do is get up on some Goddamn stage and do your shit. It's really the only answer. That anybody likes it or not is secondary to actually doing it. Maybe I'll succeed. Maybe I won't. The odds aren't in my favor but very little in my life is. And, of course, success is in the eye of the beholder anyway. So I go where I can and do what I can and who knows what it all adds up too. Probably not much. But I don't care. There are easier ways to make money and certainly more solid ways to be famous. If I truly wanted either of those things I should have picked another profession. I didn't. So I've made my bed and am content to lye in it. My name is Joe Dixon and I'm a comedian.
