Is being famous really worth it? Comedian Brian Simpson explains why fame isn't the same thing as success, and why the entertainment industry can be a dangerous place for artists who don't understand the business. In Episode 186 of BS with Brian Simpson, Brian discusses the hidden costs of celebrity, the loss of privacy, the pressure of public attention, and why he'd rather have financial freedom and a quiet ranch than be famous everywhere he goes. Brian also reacts to the recent SiriusXM comedy radio controversy involving hundreds of working comedians whose material was removed from regular rotation. Drawing on his own experiences in stand-up comedy, he talks about royalties, management, entertainment lawyers, contracts, and why young comedians need to protect their interests.
