 you often get asked the question that you know you cry in jokes for a living tell me a joke I remember when I moved back to India and I started off the English language circuit in Delhi I had an aunt who came to and she says beta tum kya karthiyo you know what do you do so I said auntie I'm a comedian I tell jokes so she said beta even I tell jokes you know what do you do for a living so it's not exactly a glamorous profession in terms of yes this is true it is one of the most irritating things that happens as a comedian you'll go to a party and somebody will come and say oh you're a comedian can you tell me a joke now as comedians we say listen nobody ever goes to a boxer and says oh you're a boxer can you punch me around a bit
