I don't know if that's true. Comedians are notoriously unhappy and it's fairly well known that suffering can lead to comedy and the class clown is hiding their inner pain. cf: Catch-22, interviews with comedians.
- maratd 11y agoYou and a few others made the same comment. Comedians are professionals who read a prepared script. All of them. I was talking about genuine, spontaneous humor. Not in a setting where you're acting and where others know you're acting. Not when there's an audience. Spontaneously funny about bad things happening in real-time, in real-life, in a personal setting. Even really good unhappy comedians would have a hard time with that one.

- psaintla 11y agoI think you'll find that's not exactly true. Many comedians are excellent at improv, that also makes them really good at keeping up the act in front of everyone around them.
- exstudent2 11y agoImprov is a well known and legitimate form of comedy. I don't think John Belushi was particularly happy or grounded.
