In Making Money Being Funny, comedian, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and widely known as the "Star Maker of Stand-Up," Judy Carter pulls back the curtain on the business side of comedy and shows you how to stop performing for "exposure" and start building real, reliable income.
Why are incredibly talented comedians sleeping in their cars-while others with half the talent are thriving financially?
Because talent alone doesn't pay the bills.
This is not a "follow your dreams and hope for the best" book. It's a practical, motivating game plan for turning your humor into a sustainable career.
Drawing on decades of experience-and thousands of comedians she's coached-Carter reveals why most performers stay broke and how the smartest ones create multiple income streams from the same material.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Turn your stand-up act into a marketable comedy product
- Find and monetize your niche audience
- Create income beyond comedy clubs-without selling your soul
- Use social media, platforms, and partnerships strategically (not desperately)
- Stop undercharging, undervaluing yourself, and waiting to be "discovered."
- Build long-term financial security from comedy, writing, speaking, or content creation
You'll also discover Carter's proven frameworks, including:
- How to develop a prosperity mindset
- How to choose gigs that build your future-not just your r廥um?/p>
- Why ownership beats hustle-and how to create assets that pay you back
Whether you're a stand-up comedian, writer, podcaster, keynote speaker, or creative entrepreneur, this book will help you think like a business owner-without losing your voice, edge, or joy.
If you're tired of being told to "just work harder"...
If you're done waiting for permission...
If you want comedy to be more than a side hustle...
Stop chasing gigs. Start creating income.
Because your talent deserves more than drink tickets.
