I think a lot of people have the last name Campbell, do you mean you're related to the soup company founders? If so, you might want to leave your name so it lends credibility to any material you may end up doing about it. Otherwise, the name thing is a personal decision, I'd say concentrate on getting funny first with your regular name, then worry about the marketing later on... Best, Ben Hi Glen,

It’s up to you whether you want to change your name or not. I think a lot of people have the last name Campbell, do you mean you’re related to the soup company founders? If so, you might want to leave your name so it lends credibility to any material you may end up doing about it. Otherwise, the name thing is a personal decision, I’d say concentrate on getting funny first with your regular name, then worry about the marketing later on…

Best,
Ben

I am now going to comedy school for a month. I am not young (just turned forty), but I am going to use it to my advantage (hopefully). Another thing is I already have a famous name Glen Campbell. Should I keep it for material or change it to a catchy name people will remember. Also, I am very loyal and have many friends, so I, like your advice thank you. glen c I have done one open mic and loved it. I am now going to comedy school for a month.
