If that 500 comedians right now that could do 50 cities.

Yeah.

And there's no safe solely paying bills off stand up alone.

No other income coming in.

I would say about 500.

I could be off.

I know some comic might argue a thousand, but I think at that point you're talking about openers.

There's not 500 comedy clubs.

There's some theater venues, but not everybody can play a theater.

Let's say everybody can play a comedy club.

There's 50 states.

On the aggregate, let's just say there's three comedy clubs per state, some high, some low.

So that's, you know, what, 150 clubs?

Yeah.

I'd say a thousand.

I would say if we're counting open micers and MCs and feature acts and stuff, I would say it's probably 3,000, 4,000 comedians that hold the title and at some point have been paid at least a dollar to do it.

But of that 4,000, I would say probably 500 or so.

Well, then it also gets to a place where do you want to keep talking about those things?

And I think that's part of why my dad did a jazz show.

Like, I get that now.
