I started to do a study on how not to do stand-up comedy. Yeah, it’s lonely work. You die, you die alone. It’s you, the light, and the audience. If you win, you win big. If you lose, you lose big time.
Meaning of the quote
Being a stand-up comedian can be a tough job. It's just you on stage, with the spotlight and the audience. If you do well, you can become really famous and successful. But if you don't do well, you can fail big time. It's a lonely job, and when you're on stage, it's just you, the light, and the people watching. You have to give it your all, because if you mess up, you'll really struggle.
