Earnings
Although stand-up comedians seem to be spontaneous, there is a lot of work involved. Their skill level, reputation, performance venues, headliner status, and income are all factors that determine how much they make. Because comedians are not unionized, their income is more volatile. This means that comedians must balance many jobs, venues, as well as their reputations.
If they are successful, they may be able to move from the stage to the big screen. A comedian working in a bar might earn $50-$400 per show. However, a comedian who works for a comedy club might earn $200 to $1,000 per show. They could make millions of dollars per year if they land a role on a television network show. They will also be paid royalties for reruns of their standup material.
