Research is limited in regards to comedians and minimal data currently exist examining the effects family, coping mechanisms, and personal self-views have on comedians' lives. Poor family dynamics and distant parental relationships have been associated with comedians' childhoods. The use of substances, levels of self-esteem, and the need for attention have not yet been examined throughout the comedian population. The following study was an investigation of the family dynamics of comedians and searched for the underlying reasons why comedians may be unhappy in their careers and their lives. The use and abuse of illicit substances and alcohol by comedians were addressed. Low self-esteem, negative self-beliefs, and the need for attention were also explored. This qualitative study utilized personal interviews, completed with five professional stand-up comedians. Common themes were gathered and analyzed as part of the research data. The results indicated that overall the comedians admitted to having "good" childhoods. All comedians reported the need to measure their own self-worth through their career success. Most comedians stated neither significant histories nor any current uses of substances. In the discussion, the comedians' childhood experiences are explored. Their need to seek attention and their characteristics related to narcissistic individuals are discussed. Discussion of the comedians' identity of themselves and their need to provide inconsistent responses are also considered.
