Secretly Seeking Career Advice

[puff_not_snuff]

My nephew is a Punjabi freestyle comedian and he is looking to get his foot in the door with poultry dying. He wants to start in an established factory, learn the trade, and then start his own custom shop. He already has a full selection of dyes and he has been practicing on his cats. He has real talent. Any tips for him?

I asked him for tips about getting into stand up comedy and he assured me that it's as easy as falling off a log. Hs suggests that you spend at least 8 hours a week in old growth forests falling off logs while practicing your routine.

Although I signed an NDA with my company which I've already mentioned I can give some very general advice on the poultry dying industry if he is serious. Do you know if he's interested in live ot post mortum dying? The company I work for specializes in cutlet dying fot mostly high end French type places.

I've never heard of chicken dying, but I did meet a guy once who painted rubber chickens. Rubber chickens is a serious industry. Even though the rubber chicken has been an icon for humor for over 100 years, you shouldn't laugh at rubber chickens. They are very serious.

Though positioned as altruism the business of GoFundMe (and it definitely is a for-profit business) pockets percentages and fees for every donation. Some seven years ago the founders sold a control position to two vc funds which valued GoFundMe at $600 million; whether or not the valuation would be higher today depends on the market's appetite for relatively slow growth "growth" businesses selling for in excess of 20x revenue. As for its customer base there's nothing wrong with the business model if that's how you want to get rid of some money. Speaking for myself when making charitable donations I prefer to cut out the middleman. I also avoid all platforms with a political axe to grind.

Well have you considered that I am not qualified to do any of the other things I've done?

Ok, that's a good argument.

Some jurisdictions do require comedians to be certifiable...so it helps if you have that on your resume.

Well regarding my resume, all the bullet points are blanks and all references are from randos from the internet that I ply with tobacco, like most impressive CVs.

I would fund this as well, but only if he read it in a heavy North Carolina accent.

I think you should call your act 'Star Cats Review' and probably give the dick or bean bag jokes a miss. You might want to develop a line on Punjabi girls or something of that nature. Here is one of the U.K's better comedians - Jim Davidson.

I'm quite sure his interests lies strictly in live dying, considering his short lived career in rodent taxidermy. He doesn't have the stomach for it. He does love eating chicken though (I've seen him eat a whole bucket) so he might warm to the idea of dying pre-processed cutlets, drumsticks, thighs and wings.

Well my employer allows us to take as much chicken skin and cartilage at the end of the day as we can carry which is pretty much the industry standard as it cuts down on the waste management bill.

LOL ... Pretty heavy on the bodily functions comedy...must be more of a Brit thing...doesn't seem to be a lot of that kind of comedy here. Probably a guaranteed audience though by going to the lowest common denominator.
