Honestly man. I love stand up comedy and in an instant it's been taken away from me. I've also lost so much money from all my shows being canceled and I can't even go to the damn gym. This is like being in jail. Not to mention the constant threat of catching an illness with no cure or treatment. Fuck man this is a nightmare. Idk why I even made this thread. I think I just need to talk to someone. I'm in my head right now with no outlet.

Time to work on a few Channels and put up a FB public figure page and draw some fans.

Yeah I've been thinking about that. But nothing replaces that high you get from a show. I'm having dreams of being on stage damn near every night man. It's killing me. I just can't believe how quick it got taken away. Anything can happen. But you're right. I gotta focus my energy where I can.

You're in your 30s and have no lung or immune disorders. If you catch it it's pretty much going to be like you have the flu. You can still lift dumbbells if you have them or go on a walk. Allegheny Cemetery is huge and has paved trails, just go for a walk through that. 

I've been working out at home but that just isn't the same. It gets me by but I can't deadlift or squat in my house. Lol also I'm not going near Pittsburgh right now.

WRONG!

Word on the street is that COVID eats your testicles.

Look it up!

It's sounds fucking scary!

Lol honestly I wouldn't mind. I don't want kids

If you're really serious about getting your tubes snipped, look into programs that pay drug users to sterilize themselves.

I'm not kidding, these actually exist. 

You might have to test positive for something first but you could walk away w/ a vasectomy and a cool $600-$1000.

I figured you lived in the city. Either way it's pretty safe, I had a lung biopsy a few weeks ago and walked around, shopped at the store a few times haven't caught anything. My cousin works at a bank and handles money she hasn't caught anything. The people working at the store dealing with shit heads walking around with rubber gloves, goggles, and cloth taped to their face as a breathing mask haven't caught anything. So long as you keep a good distance from people and don't touch a bunch of shit then touch your face you should be good.  You can always just do endurance squats. No weights just keep doing squats till you can't anymore.  Yesterday I started on a garden and planted a couple of apple trees. So if you have some land digging a garden can be good exercise. Then by the start of june you'll have your first harvest of peppers, tomatoes,  squash etc.

Good luck actually finding a doctor right now. Pretty much any medical stuff that isn't essential has been postponed.

Nah I live like 30 minutes away from the city. Honestly you have some pretty good ideas and I think I'll implement a few. Sorry about your lungs bro. I had a biopsy once. Doctors thought I had TB. That shit was crazy lol

I live about 30 mins north of the city. I'm still waiting on the rest of the results, because they had to put everything on ice due to the outbreak. What they did tell me was that there was a high number of eosinophils which means an auto immune disorder that is affecting my asthma. Though I don't have cancer or copd, which is good. I digress gardening would be pretty good to get into since planting season is here. You'll just have to keep an eye out for raiders in the next couple of months, or they'll pilfer your produce.

It's ok everyone is in the same boat rn. We're going to get thru it, and everything will resume. Part of stand up comedy is writing. You can always do that, and you cannot do too much of it. So you can still put this time toward your career even if you can't go out.

Might I suggest using this as a good time for music therapy or to catch up with social media and the aspects of it you can use from home to share and "market" your specific outlet. It could be a good time for you to catch up on or build an online presence for it for sure.. I was thinking of doing the same, but ironically the pandemic seems to have been giving me work more than taking it away from me. :|

Twitch has a section called "Just Chatting" where you could live stream your stand up

it'd also give you good practice for handling hecklers because there are a ton of wanna be trolls on the internet

i actually like this idea for you too. you can even do both when this thing is over. use the online space for more advertising.

Psh, he can post vids and get heckled here.....But I guess if it's not in real time, it's not heckling and more flaming.

He could.

It's just Twitch has a world audience and this place has like 14-18 active people, and I'm pretty sure 5 of them were the last people to receive Lobotomies before doctors stopped that practice

Feel ya man. Been in prowrestling the last year or two, and put the breaks on stand up for the time being for that but now life put the break on wrestling to for the moment in a volatile time in my life and career.

 

Just lost a promoter and possible work with two local wrestling promotions because of it, then I still hold down a part to full time job but it was works slow season so hours were cut and then this pandemic came after that. I think in the last 2 months after child support I've maybe made 600 dollars(and now no extra money from wrestling). Me and my fiance moved back in with my mom to help her take care of my grandma who is dying from cancer which is hard enough after losing my other grandma and 3 aunts to cancer having to watch my grandma waste away when she was the only person there for me as a kid and the main reason I had a Christmas and Birthday to look forward to growing up, then my fiance left me because apparently she wasn't getting enough attention between me working, taking care of my grandma, writing, and keeping myself in moderate shape so there goes 8 years wasted and time wise that was my last hope to have my own family since I couldn't raise my son because his moms a selfish psycho.  I'm in my early 30's I'm not going to be an almost 50 something year old with a 15 year old son. Your 20's should be fun and growing as a person not having to worry about burying your father, that's what your 30's are for.  So yeah, I'm in the dumps mentally when it comes to my life itself, and not being able to do what I love doing and bring some kind of meaning to my existent and joy to others makes it worse, but I've been doing my best at balancing my anxiety and depression and all the bad shit going on in my life and around the world and keep my focus but no lie I've been in my head too much at the same time

 

A wrestling promoter who got me in business posted something last week about how much it sucks to have his stand up shows, wrestling events, and DJ gigs completely dry up, he's not used to having nothing to do or look forward to and he knows a bunch of his entertainer friends are in the same boat, and he suggested what he was going to do and what he thinks others should do, and just reminded us to take the time to think about ways we can improve ourselves and our game. Take this time to write, exercise, work on your craft and maybe let your mind wonder down some paths it usually doesn't and focus on what and who you want to be again when this is all over and come back better than ever. His advice has at least minimally helped me at times so I hope it helps you man.

Dude I had esinophils too! Weird thing about my situation is that it completely went away. They told me it was allergies and sent me home. So who tf knows! 

Yeah I think I'll grow some corn. Idk I've never grown anything before.

I know. The problem is going to open mics is a huge part of my writing process. Idk why but getting on stage helps my writing significantly. I have been writing since this started as I always write regardless. But I know most of what I'm writing is gonna be rough when I finally perform it. That's ok tho. Writing helps me imagine everything is normal.

I can definitely have a better online presence. Social media has always been my weakest point. I love performing I just never put much time into the online stuff as stupid as that sounds. It's funny cause I know tons of comics that are obsessed with their online presence but bomb every fucking time they get up. I love music but tbh cuphead has really been keeping me sane

Dude honestly your situation is way worse than mine. Really hope you can bounce back from losing so much. That's really really rough. And his advice does help. I'm continuing to write and looking into more things I can do online after all the responses I got on this thread. You sound like a good son and your grandma is lucky to have you.

In my case Its been progressing for the worse, and causing some major issues with my immune response and my asthma.. So have been trying a few different treatments to try and lower the count. Issue is that they've still been high even with 3 of the treatments so far. Am supposed to start another one that I have to inject at home this week. Though it's good that yours evened out on it's own over time.

Appreciate it. Glad everyone helped you find an outlet, and stoked to hear the advice helps.

I'm trying to rebound. One day at a time. Been trying to find ways to make things better, might be a couple months and it'll take some planning but as  long as we're alive we still have a shot at making things better.

I hope your shit gets better eventually. To this day idk what was wrong with my lungs. Lol they told me I had pneumonia, then TB then something like TB. Then they said my esenophiles were high but they were back to normal and sent me home. I was like well I can breathe fine now so I guess I'm ok

Nope. Nobody ever does because I wear clothes that fit. I don't wear my sisters clothes in public cause I don't need validation. Most ppl think I'm trolling when I say I can pull that but I totally can. Even got kicked out of a gym for doing it lol

Yeah they've thought of everything under the sun as well. Pretty much have landed on it being some sort of auto immune disorder but they don't know which one. On the plus side most auto immune disorders are treated the same way, so I think their method is to try the medications that cover most of them and see if they find one that works well.
