Since you would still be an amateur for a while, it will take more than a minute to start making some serious dough with your stand-up comedy acts. If you have a regular 40-hr week job, by all means, don’t quit it just yet. Unless you have a lot of money saved up for a while, it is foolish to turn in your resignation right then. Even after you start getting regular gigs that pay, it may not be sufficient to put food on the table and pay your bills.
If you work a day job, that can be to your advantage. Don't schedule your evenings or weekend for anything else. You can get more comedy gigs, including open mics and being able to watch other comedy shows. You will want to suck up everything that you can once you are starting out. Once you get in the groove, you will be so busy focusing on your comedic routines with writing, performing sketches, etc.
Where You Should Perform
Once you start, you know to use your material on strangers and eventually friends and family. Once you are ready to do live performances, get with some seasoned comedians that would be willing to give you a few nuggets. Not everyone is freehearted, so you may have to go through several of them in order to get the assistance you need.
One of the first places you should perform is an open mic. Open mics are usually held a bookstores, coffee shops and bars. Even though these would be non-paying events, you could build up your base. Doing this would provide you with the experience you would need once it's time for you to go out on the road to perform for larger audience.
