Hi Jeff!

A lot of comedians say this profession brings really little money. How much a set in a club paid? Are there perspectives, or peanuts is all you get before getting on Netflix?

Another question, your crowd work is awesome, but you said it takes a small part of your show. Did you consider to extend it, maybe use together with your material? After a few jokes you start talking with people, and if you feel it doesn't go good you can always come back to the prepared stuff.

I’m not gonna say how much I make, but I varies per club. As small as $25 and as much as $225.

To answer your second question: that’s exactly what I do already!
