Stand-up Comedy Addict? Comedian Identifies Stage Addiction

(PRWEB) February 28, 2005

Is it possible for a comedian, comedy entertainer or humorous speaker to actually be addicted to the stage? Comedy guru Steve Roye points out some stunning similarities between an addict in search of a drug and a performer in search of stage time in a just released article entitled “Stage Addiction: Myth or Reality”.

Roye is quick to point out that unlike most addictions, stage addiction can have positive or negative ramifications, depending upon the skill level and expertise of the performer. “Drugs provide a ‘high’ for the user. A successful comedy show or presentation provides an extreme ‘high’ for the performer. Drug users are driven to get the ‘fix’ – performers are driven to get stage time, which provides a very potent type of ‘fix’, even though no external chemical is involved. One of the significant differences between drug addiction and stage addiction is that a stage addict won’t break into your house to get stage time.”

According to Roye, everyone craves attention, respect, admiration and acceptance – all of which can be provided in huge doses from a superb performance on stage. These emotional attributes of live performing are extremely powerful and can keep even the most mediocre performers searching for stage time year after year.

The article “Stage Addiction: Myth or Reality” is available for review now for free at: http://www.killerstandup.com/stage_addict.htm.

Roye is a professional comedian, author and one of the world’s leading experts on spoken comedy. He is also the founder of the Global Comedy Network, an internationally recognized organization dedicated to business systems development, product research, quality improvement and marketing strategy development for world entertainment markets in the field of live comedy entertainment and presentations incorporating humor.
