Like you, I grew up watching brilliantly funny, often inspiring comedy. I want to be part of that tradition of making people laugh rather than cry. Well maybe cry at the very end of the series. But my experience so far has shown me this industry is not for the fainthearted. I really thought that of all genres, comedy would be embraced. But it is a hard sell. Even to get people to look at it, never mind tout it around.
Thank you for your insight. It’s valuable for us “emerging” or maybe wannabe comedy writers to have an insider view.
Your post is enlightening. Thank you.
