Before he was a professional comedian, Eddy Murphy worked part time as a shoe-store clerk. A majority of aspiring comedians work day jobs to pay bills while honing their craft.

A few keep jobs their entire lives while doing comedy. Some comedians, like Hannibal Burress, get right back into the working force for our entertainment.
