Do people really move down to Austin purely to pursue comedy??

Hey guys, I’ve been watching a ton of kill tony recently and the amount of new comics who seem to drop everything just to move to Austin and do comedy is heart breaking. Sure VERY rarely some actually does good enough to make me think they can make it and I get exited to see them next, but 90% of them just seem like… normal people. I get it, sometimes I get exited watching the show and think “huh it’s only a minute how hard can it be? Just crack a good joke or two and you’ll be set” but on the flip side the amount of people who bomb and get cooked alive immediately wipes this thought away. I just don’t get it, who told them they’re funny enough for KT? And even if you thought you were moving your entire life just to try is CRAZY and heart breaking. Please tell me this is a running gag or something because everytime I hear it I cringe.
