Investing in Comic Books
In a tough economy, we find ourselves looking to make a buck. We act like superheroes trying to fight this volatile economy. Well, why not look to the superheroes themselves? Comic books make for a great investment. They are lucrative and can be worth a lot of money. However, investing in comic books may not bring a big payoff right away.

This is a Great Time to Go to the Comedy Club!
This is a Great Time to Go to the Comedy Club!
This is a great time to hang out at your local comedy club. Why would I say such a thing.
Due to the economic downturn and a number of other factors the number of comedy clubs have decreased in recent years. High gas prices have cut out many of the one Nighters which means fewer and fewer stages for the comic to work on. While this is a bad thing for the comics trying to hit it big it has also raised the bar to get the remaining gigs. The talent at your local comedy could be at an all time high. So it is a great time to go see some very talented performers.

While Schwensen sensibly advises novices to be original and to work steadily at stage time, Jay Sankey’s Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy (LJ 5/1/98) offers much more on the craft of performance. Nearly half of this book is devoted to brief interviews with 12 top comedians (e.g., Drew Carey, Rhonda Shear, and Rene Hicks). While Jeff Dunham observes that “comedy has taken such a nose-dive,” Schwensen does not otherwise acknowledge that comedians face a shrinking stand-up industry.
