What does "unemployed stand-up comic" even mean? Does it mean that your job search consists of looking for "stand up comic" positions? Does it mean that you have experience in stand up comedy and you are now unemployed but considering other positions? Does it mean that you are practising stand-up comedy whilst you are unemployed but not making enough income for it to count as "employment"? I have friends who identify themselves as "musicians" because that is what they see as their profession (they went to music college etc) but their actual income comes from elsewhere.
