- It's exceedingly rare to see a famous person "begin" a stand-up career. It takes courage, pluck, strength. 🤘 But can you be a successful comedian without having spent years toiling at open mics? Let's talk about JVN's adventures in stand-up comedy.
Do you have a comedian you'd like to see me do a deep-dive on? Comment below

Jonathan Van Ness can do anything he sets his mind to.
Personalities and public figures being able to do stand up because of their fame is not necessarily new like your video says, but I feel as if the internet changes the game forever. Like, take Bo Burnham for example.
He gathered an audience through youtube/vine/social media and then toured in large venues with a brilliantly, meticulously crafted stand up routine truly unlike anything I have ever seen in comedy. Yet this act is something that I don't think ever would have existed if not for the internet allowing one to rally their own audience first. I remember listening to Bo on a podcast where he talks about how he was literally making adjustments to the show on the road, in front of these massive crowds and that is something which JVN seems to be doing as well. There's a reason Bo never really performs in comedy clubs, he plays to his audience quite well. Props to JVN for going outside of his comfort zone and I think I'm gonna keep an eye out for his comedy in the future.
I believe Gary Gulman said once that if a Comedian can make a room laugh thats great, but if a comedian can make 15% of the room keel over with tears of joy, that's your audience. The internet or fame in general seems give one the ability to circumvent the process of finding an audience in seedy comedy rooms, perhaps its for the better. Only time will tell.
Anyway, great video.
Another group of people you should look at is old wrestlers. There are a number of old WWF/WWE wrestlers who do one man storytelling/standup shows. Mick Foley, Jake the Snake, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dolph Ziggler and so on.
@@KatieMears For wrestlers who are doing the stand up thing now, if you want to TALK with them, I would start with contacting Mick Foley. He's a Legend, a mensa member and an extremely nice guy. He also has a couple (i think) specials available on the WWE Network. A little google fu and you can find emails (albeit booking emails) for him, Jake or Hacksaw. Ziggler is a younger guy, on hiatus from WWE to tour, so ya know, he might be interested in the promotional value, too.
Great video as always. You really know your stuff.
You should send this to JVN!
It’s a mic sometimes famous people can do really well, Michael Ian Black started doing stand up in his early 30s from his success on the I love the 80s/90s on VH1, he was already pretty big with sketch with Stella and Maron gave him hard time and they have a very real frienemy relationship. Same with Chris Hardwick he got into stand up after he was famous. Donald Glover , Ricky Gervais , Dustin Diamond( Screech from saved by the bell) Charlie Sheen in 2016, pro wrestlers such as Dolph Zigler, Rob Van Dam, Mick Foley. Also Stevo who has earned a lot of respect over recent years , especially from Joe Rohan. Brendan Schaub is only 3 years in , very green still and just had his first special . Henry Rollins makes it a point to call himself more of a spoken word performer rather than a comedian but he did have a stand up special recently . There’s levels and where you are at in your career. Stormy Daniels tried it but now she does more q & a stuff . Josh Peck did stand up at a very young age at the 10 and now he performs at colleges. Tom Green started in his teens and got back into it in recent years. Seth Rogen did it from 12 to 17 years old. It all depends , either the career is on the up and they really put work into it ( Hardwick, Gervais , Michael Ian Black or it’s justa part of the train wreck (
Mix I mean
Just found your channel on Vulture. So good! Great commentary and insight.
Will smith tried being a standup until he realized performing on stage with his son was half the work for twice the pain
not to start anything but "reverse body dysmorphia" sounded really familiar to me and then I remembered: Trixie Mattel said that on an episode of UNHhhh?
Oh my god!! Amazing video!!! I absolutely love your take here!! I had never heard of JVN even tho I'm a queer comic (because I live under a rock). But I do love your dissection and I learned a lot from this vid!! Keep em coming!! :-)
Where did you get those clips?
The great Monti Rock III started out as a hair stylist.
Steve-O made the transition.
Excuse me, but are we a little tea pot?
Just stumbled upon your channel, are you a standup?
That’s really cool. Keep up the good work. Just subbed. Me and my friend are open mic ers rn but feel free to message us if we can ever help you with anything.
