How did comedians become comedians?

Many different ways. If you are referring to 'celebrity' comedians they are discovered by producers or directors for the type of work they become famous in. Comedy clubs in every major city host their shows all the time. Some just audition and get agents like any Hollywood celebrity. Many A list actors started out in comedy clubs. If you have the commitment, responsibility, and sense of humor you could make it. Being a genius doesn't hurt though. The average celebrity comedian could have more easily become a surgeon.

Most operettas can be described as 'light' operas - good examples are the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Although as with all labels in music, the distinction has become blurred. Basically there is no difference between the scores for an opera and an operetta - except for the operetta's lightness.
