Well not all comedians but some. Many of the comedians that do, are cynics, and cynics are very intellectual & possess a sharp sense of humour [usually a sarcastic one] so they're able to make jokes and laugh about anything really. Cynicism is a characteristic found in not ALL but many people who suffer from depression, anxiety etc. So this could possibly be the reason however i am just guessing.

Yes I believe that it its true also many die on stage . The constant tsion of performance and that of imenent rejection , the adrenaline must really pump away.

To have humour or a witty personality it is also necessary to have a sensitive personality . You may find a quick temper and strong sense of injustice are present to . Humoutists are not your dead fish anal retentatives ( you can see enough of them working in ''THE OFFICE'' and why a humourist however necessary dosent fit in or get promotion or acolade

Artists suffer for their art. I'm not sure why but it just seems to be the way it works. I think it has something to do with looking into the sun.

maybe they lose their "sense of humour".
