Well first of all it takes a lot of insight in life to be able to make jokes about everything. They know a lot about the pain of life.

Secondly, they’re always expected to be happy. People don’t realize that comedy and standup comedy is a role that you play, it’s not all of your being. Nobody is happy all the time, but of comedy actors and standup comedians it is often expected that they are. This can make them super lonely.
