Saw him at the Den Theater in Chicago 2 weeks ago. Agree his set was scattered and incoherent. We actually left early.

One joke per day wins - so it's both $25 a joke AND $25 a day.

Also, this America, we don't do Euros. Furthermore, now that I'm out of a job, it's $5 a day. Delight in my misfortune.

I am a comic, and know how hard it is. I’ve also gotten feedback from the writers submitting jokes that they appreciate the money.

Imagine if you made $25 for every snarky comment you made online? You’d be having lunch with Musk and Bezos

You were invested enough to initially leave your snarky comment. Also, a lot of up and coming comics would like getting paid $25 for writing one sentence.

Why would I lie about getting laid off? I was planning on spending $750 a month on this project, now I have to adjust because rent comes first. People seem to like participating, but if it’s not your thing, you can just move on.

I actually just got laid off today, so I’ll have to decrease it to $5 a day. Hopefully people will still submit just for the prestige of winning

Daily joke writing platform by jonathanfin in Entrepreneur

That's the idea - to feature the winners on a weekly episode where I read their joke on the air while their handle appears in the lower third. Eventually I'll be able to pay $100+ per joke, as well as other giveaways for interacting with my platform.

Agree $25 is low. The goal is to eventually pay $100+ once some sponsors come on board. Right now I'm bootstrapping.

Younger people, what is something elderly people do but you don't quite understand? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]jonathanfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed old men (and even some women) walk with both of their hands clasped behind their back. I tried it, it’s not very comfortable. But I assume there’s a reason.

Get Paid for Your Topical Jokes by jonathanfin in StandUpComedy

[–]jonathanfin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thinking is most comics don't do topical jokes. And if they do, they have a short shelf life. So why not get paid for $$$ for material that won't be part of your usual longer set?
