Why comedians become comedians.
Life In Comedy explores the triumphs and struggles of the working comedian. Host Will Becton has been around a lot of funny people - he was the original engineer of Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend and CONAN on TBS, and performed improv comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre with house teams The Syndicate and Team Brooklyn.
Will has always wondered why comedians end up being comedians, as it seems like more of a calling than a choice. In this show, he attempts to find that out by talking to stand-ups, improvisers, comedy writers, sketch performers, and humorists.
