I think all the comedians needs to be looked into

Those from Second City in Chicago to

The Comedy Club, started by Pauley Shores Mother in LA

every comedian I grew up with had their starts at either place

with hindsight, you can see an agenda playing out that fits with the entertainment , Movies, TV, Music etc

makes you wonder how many of these comedians have very dirty closets

when I think of some of the Comedy Movies I enjoyed watching, you begin to wonder if there is anyone that the Cabal hasnt sunk their talons in

As a comedian,

The places you named are no different than the basketball academies that have popped up in the past few decades.

They attract the best talent because they are one of the only locations to practice and in improve with peers of an equal talent level.

maybe you need to look up the beginings of The Comedy Store

didnt dig into Second City

The comedians werent even paid at first at CC

there was a flop house above the store

all the comedians from both places set the stage for the newer ones

You are looking at them in present time

look at the history, those that got their starts, how they lived

The drug dealer at these places made a lot of money

friendships were made

enemies made

very interesting

ps....you dont need talent anymore, if you have it great, but in entertainment, there are ways around it
