i love this: "I pointed out to her how funny she was when she just talked to us, off stage, how the jokes just flowed out of her, how the best thing she could do to write was to talk to someone and then pause to make notes."
i just finished a 10-week acting class. in the first week, we were given an acting task and then after that told to discuss the task. the discussion of the task was more natural, easier, just humans communicating comfortably, and that was the teacher's point. that was how acting could feel at its best. just doing. as ourselves.
and i think that makes a lot of sense for standups, like the one in your post as well.
I'm always stoked to get a note from you, Myq. It's like winning an award, A Myqy. "I'd just like to thank the academy, and my parents, but mostly Myq"
I love this advise. It makes accepting that things went well even missing something is ok and not beating yourself up for a messed up joke (still working on that).
dear keith,
this is a great distinction!
