Create for Passion, Not Numbers

Comedy emerged as a grassroots movement, thriving in informal spaces where passion, not profit, drove performers. It was a time when individuals pursued comedy purely for love rather than commercial success or fame. This uncommercialized phase allowed comedians to express themselves authentically, often as a means to cope with difficult backgrounds. The discussion highlights the importance of focusing on creativity without being influenced by metrics of success, asserting that artists should prioritize their craft over external validation and societal expectations.
