Achieving standup stardom ain't easy. It takes a lot of courage (sometimes of the liquid variety) to put yourself out there. People like Aziz Ansari and Jeff Dunham spent years working the standup arena before finding fame. Even Dane Cook had to put in the time before he could fake-bang Jessica Alba in movies. Luckily, there are venues willing to give newcomers and local talent the spotlight to shine. Or bomb horribly. Whichever.
