Stand-up comedian James Stanley tells us that becoming a comic is its own right of passage - to be a great headliner, you have to have been through all the tests, and by then, you’ve got to have the hour you need.

Jared Chandler reaches back - way back - for his bombing story - it was his first bomb in performance ever: his fourth-grade talent show. When it was over, he remembers thinking - “I don’t know what just happened, but I think it was bad.” A comic was born. Jared reminds comics that you can always tell - in the first few minutes of your set - the kind of show you’re going to have. Stand-up comedian...
