In an intriguing video on Reddit titled "Not Getting A Real Job Yet," a comedian shares his unusual career path and the fortunate turns that have kept him in comedy for the past 15 years. The comedian, who remains unnamed, recounts his near-experiences with "real jobs" and how he has managed to avoid them thanks to the timely interventions of the "comedy gods."

The comedian explains that he once considered selling cars and even went as far as attending an interview. However, right after the interview, he received an opportunity for a weekend of comedy, which made him abandon the idea of selling cars altogether. He humorously credits his continued success in comedy to divine intervention, suggesting that whenever he's close to taking up a regular job, a comedy gig magically appears.

Recently, the comedian downloaded the Shipt app, a grocery delivery service popular in Wichita, and was ready to start delivering groceries. However, before he could begin, Dustin, presumably the owner of a comedy club, asked him about his weekend plans. This led him to drop the idea of grocery delivery in favor of comedy work once again.

The video has elicited a variety of reactions from Reddit users. Some comments are supportive, with one user humorously noting, "Guy hasn't had a real job since Vikings season 4." Another user commented positively, "Keep killing it brother!!!!" and asked, "When you in Tampa Mike? Saw your Honda Fit clip the other day."

However, not everyone is a fan. Critics have pointed out that the comedian's delivery and timing are lacking. One user wrote, "This guy has awful delivery and virtually no timing lol. Like, trying to leave work after you've clocked out and some dude just holds you hostage thinking you're friends while you're just trying to go home." Another user compared the comedian unfavorably to Tom Segura, saying, "Mom, let's go see Tom Segura - No, we have Tom Segura at home. Tom Segura at home: ..."

The mixed reactions highlight the subjective nature of comedy. While some find the comedian's story relatable and funny, others are less impressed. Regardless, the comedian's dedication to his craft and his ability to avoid traditional employment through sheer comedic luck is undeniably fascinating.

The video has sparked discussions about the nature of comedy, the challenges comedians face, and the lengths some will go to pursue their passion. Whether adored or criticized, this comedian's journey from almost selling cars to considering Shipt in Wichita continues to captivate audiences on Reddit.
