Creativity is not something you can achieve with grind mentality. It's like a flower and needs the right amount of water, food, and sunlight. Being an artist is a fragile pursuit and thus shouldn't be approached with brute force. That is true for stand-up comedy, which is not merely a craft. It is in fact an art as well, and should be treated as such. Start working smart instead of bumping your head against the wall. Don't surround yourself by people who don't understand your vision or brand. Stick to your creative guns and do your best. You'll be glad you did.
