Is it a sin to work as a comedian?

[Konstantin Antonov]

James 4:9
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

 

[Konstantin Antonov]

Ecclesiastes 7:2
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

 

[LucianNae]

I find that a lot of Christian or, at least, "clean comics" tend to be quite self-deprecating.

Do you think that is a good or a bad thing?

James 4:9
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Luke 6:21b "...Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh."

Ecclesiastes 7:2
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Ecc 3:1-4 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,"

It produces laughs, so, in my opinion, it's a good thing. "Dry Bar Comedy" is a good YT channel with clean comedy, even from comics that usually don't have that style.

If you can make people laugh with you, than it can neutralize the blunt of laughing at someones misfortunes.

Joyous laughter does exist. Unfortunately it isn't as prevalent.
