Where do you realistically see yourself in ten years? Twenty?
I’ll do you one better. In five years, a road comic, going city to city, playing any stage that will pay me, living out of a suitcase. I would absolutely love that life.
In ten years, still a road comic, but playing bigger gigs, and having a bit more time to relax at home. Getting paid to write somewhere for someone, and doing fun improv shows.
But certainly not doing that forever. In twenty years, having a steady gig writing/performing somewhere. Still doing the occasional big gig, maybe even on a small or silver screen in some living room or theater somewhere (at that point, they’ll probably be the same thing).
Unless my entire career focus shifts again and I end up wanting to be a… hell, a diplomat? Or something. I’m seriously on my ninth or tenth career aspiration right now. In the past, I’ve wanted to be a garbage man, an astronaut, a pro snowboarder, a pro-snowboarding journalist, a music journalist, and many more. Comedy is the one I’m on now, but this has been going the longest, and I seem to excel at (and enjoy) this the most. So I’d put my bets on comedy.
