Comedian Jimmy Shin Has Emerged As A Leading Funny Man Of Comedy\u2026 (But He Could Have Been Your Lawyer!) <\/em><\/p>\n

Tonight is one of Jimmy Shin\u2019s Shindig Comedy Shows<\/strong>.\u00a0 The audience is packed.\u00a0 The line-up is full of comedy legends and names you recognize from Comedy Central, your favorite Youtube clips, HBO and Netflix Comedy Specials.<\/span><\/p>\n

The room is warm, fun and getting big laughs.\u00a0 The host chats up the crowd between acts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backstage is a mix of personalities.\u00a0 Each comic is getting ready for the stage in their own way.\u00a0 Some are psyching themselves up with push-ups, some are joking around with the others, some are doing breathing exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right by the stage is Jimmy, waiting to be announced.\u00a0 And with that:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNext up on stage:\u00a0 Please welcome Jimmy Shin\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jimmy launches up to the spotlight with smiles, electric energy and love. He has boundless energy on stage and off and launches head-first right in! Shin is on stage and it is going to be “Shintastic!”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy\u2019s performance reminds us of is how much being a live comic is also a daredevil act.<\/strong> It\u2019s vulnerable, it\u2019s exciting, it\u2019s being very present. No one knows how the next few minutes of life will play out.\u00a0 But it\u2019ll be experienced live, in-person, on-stage in front of a paying crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

All comics know that they could die a horrible, slow, stage death. Silence can be deafening. No laughs and your material bombs (it happens to every comedian from time to time). Also, obviously, a comic wants a receptive audience who are there to be willingly taken on a journey, to laugh and not to take life so seriously for an evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or it could be huge laughs, applause and roars of love as you finish your time. Every show they do, they are putting themselves out there, honest, prepared and they leave the audience with a piece of themselves. Comedy is for the brave.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy got a big laugh within his first few words and it didn\u2019t stop. Giggles, hoots and hollers and applause as he ended.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight Jimmy killed and he made it look easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But it is far from easy, and the road Jimmy traveled to reach where he is, is certainly the road less traveled. It is a lot of dedicated hard work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jimmy-Shin-comedian\"
Jimmy Shin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just a few years ago, Jimmy Shin had one of the worst days of his life and yet this could also be deemed as the best day of his life. But it was a day to remember.\u00a0 A day where an imposed destiny went up in smoke<\/strong>, literally and figuratively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy\u2019s life was planned out for him whether he liked it or not. He was going to be an entertainment lawyer.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t some fantasy, it was happening. Years of hard work, stressful classes, weeks upon weeks of endless studying; and now he graduated law school. But after a horrible twist of fate, he found himself sitting in a government office waiting to find out his future.\u00a0 Could he take the bar and become a practicing lawyer?<\/span><\/p>\n

It was at this moment he found out he would NEVER fulfill his family\u2019s dream<\/span> of becoming a lawyer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To understand why, we have to rewind a bit.\u00a0 In law school Jimmy was a nightclub promoter<\/strong> and umm\u2026 a weed dealer<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just before his graduation, Jimmy was arrested for dealing.\u00a0 It was a huge disappointment.\u00a0 Felons can\u2019t take the bar.\u00a0 His weed felony disqualified him from fulfilling his career. So he has to put his law career into his pipe – and smoke it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In retrospect, that was the best thing that could have happened to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

“From the very first time I hit the comedy stage…I felt like this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today in 2021 when you see Jimmy bound onto stage, he\u2019s Superman<\/strong>.\u00a0 His energy, his love, he shines.\u00a0 And yes, he makes it look easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has a popular Amazon special \u201cWok of Shame\u201d,<\/strong> he sells out shows in Southern California and tours through the West Coast regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week he\u2019s traveling around the state for four shows lined-up in six days.\u00a0 He\u2019s in demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny is a business.<\/h3>\n

On stage, comics \u201cperform\u201d.\u00a0 The audience might see it as light and easy, silly and funny, angry and irreverent; and any and all combinations of that can work.\u00a0 What we as the audience aren\u2019t meant to recognize is all the rehearsal.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re a comedy movie star<\/strong>, you\u2019re working with hundreds of people and millions of dollars to help you be funny. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re a stand-up comic<\/strong>, it\u2019s just you, a spotlight, a microphone and maybe a chair.\u00a0 You sink or swim based on you and only you.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 5 minutes or 15 minutes or even 55 minutes, the audience is invited into the comic\u2019s world.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it takes more than a strong act to become a successful, working comic.\u00a0 As a performer, you need to develop a great act, but you also need to know how to get yourself seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, Jimmy is a non-practicing lawyer.\u00a0 How he thinks, how he produces, how fast he moves.\u00a0 Most comics don\u2019t or won\u2019t get it done.\u00a0 They need someone like Jimmy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWatching and teaching my students is what keeps comedy new and fresh to me everyday.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s why he was inspired to start teaching<\/strong>.\u00a0 He helps people figure out their act, grow their stage presence and ultimately get them stage time and more.\u00a0 Like most things Jimmy does, the classes are getting great results and he\u2019s creating a successful list of alumni.\u00a0 They\u2019re working amidst the biggest names in showbiz<\/strong> and Jimmy is watching them from backstage like a proud papa.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before you ask, nope there isn\u2019t a Udemy link you can click and just sign up. The class is by referral.<\/span><\/p>\n

Show Friends Make Show Business<\/h3>\n

Jimmy scrolls through his phone and his contact list reads like SNL meets Comedy Central, meets Netflix.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember he was a nightclub promoter?\u00a0 Jimmy knows how to fill a room and everyone loves a crowd.<\/strong>\u00a0 It makes it easy to book a venue and fill a line-up with A-listers.\u00a0 He\u2019s got the hot audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it goes so much deeper than that. Jimmy Shin is 7 years sober.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Matter of fact, the day we meet for this conversation was his 7 year birthday for sobriety.\u00a0 He talks about his journey happily and proudly.\u00a0 His choice to be healthy has attracted a lot of people to his world.\u00a0 Some because of his newly bright demeanor, some because they realize they need to be on his same sobriety path.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently one of the biggest stars in comedy<\/strong> performed at Jimmy\u2019s show. He was truly great, not just funny, but a level of emotional depth that transcended easy jokes.\u00a0 It was later insinuated that the comic is getting clean and receiving moral support from Jimmy.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the things Jimmy does, a subtle and supportive reminder to these great performers that they\u2019re just as funny (even funnier) when their head is cleaned-up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comedy has a dark reputation.\u00a0 We can all name a few entertainers who met tragic ends before their time.\u00a0 In present day, there are plenty of comics in recovery or who want to be in recovery and Jimmy is a very public North Star to so many of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s post-pandemic world of politics, controversy, cancel culture and whatever trigger issue social media will invent next, it\u2019s comforting to know comedy can still be a fun and easy night out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy Shin is leading the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
