I think we're into a dark satire here that might not go over as well with the general public.
However I am also a huge fan of slapstick; the Marx brothers, Monty Python, vaudeville, I Love Lucy, pie in the face, Gallagher, Inspector Clouseau. make me laugh dammi!t
you should post some of your stuff and ask for feedback. Practice your trade for at least an hour every day and course correct regularly.
present yourself in a way that represents your ambition. If your style is to make "yo yo dawgg my nigga yo yo" jokes then you've chosen your handle and intro well.
get involved in your local community. Stand up groups, comedy writing groups, there are going to be several close to you. Show up to one of their events and then just don't leave. Find out who's good, and learn from them. Don't be afraid of going on stage or showing your work.
before you feel you're completely ready for it, jump off the deep end and become an apprentice
Contact comedians and networks that fit your style and personality.
Keep the email to under four sentences. See if you can make it in three.
Hi [name], I'm [name], and I'm writing [joke]. Find attached the reasons why you should hire me.
So in your case that would presumably be something like:
"Yo Trevor Noah, I'm pdawgg, and I be writin cause ya mah nigga and I wannah fuck them bitches and get mah moneyh ahahahahahaha. Yo my bro check my attachments you gonna finna hire me yo cause I be trippin."
Then:
Attach a pitch; "hey this is me, these are my strengths, these are my ambitions, this is my motivation, here's where I see myself in 5 years". Keep it short, one page.
Attach a critique. Take something they have done (whomever you're sending this to) and break down why it works. Show that you understand the trade.
Attach short jokes doc. Write 5-6 short jokes that exemplify your style and attitude.
Attach essay. Can you be funny in longer form? Aim for between 1000 and 1500 words.
Tell them that you are eager to learn and to grown, and offer them a 3 month trial period for the minimum terms that you can accept.
Security point to posting example stuff specifically here. Unless it's stuff he never wants to use again publicly it's probably going to be unique enough to potentially be doxing himself, albeit in a rather unusual way.
TBH the odds of anyone connecting those dots would be incredibly slim, but the odds otherwise would be almost nil.
DMs to willing critics here would be a little safer
Given that you're posting here you're probably going to have to abandon one of those to succeed, so maybe start weighing up which ones matter more to you.
Also from the other side of the equation, it'd be nice if someone could make me laugh without taking that as license to also start telling me how to live my life. Seems like an underutilized niche.

Fair point.
Don't take advice from randos on the internet.
