Those are the three lanes for comedian, some suicide, some bad health.

But, you know, depending on the comedian, you could almost akin quitting to dying.

If they didn't want to quit, you know, you whatever life thing happened to you and.

I'd say if we're going across all genres, all races, I'd say about 500.

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.
