Great Show!
Forget the autograph line. Embrace the line of people heading out of the showroom. This line is often right next to the staircase leading off stage or a space next to the table selling memorabelia.
A performer is often caught in the outpouring of congratulatory hands after the show to offer a compliment on a job well done. In the midst of shaking hands and selling product, a star is born. Some performers feel like flight attendants shaking hands and saying the obligatory thank yous. I use that opportunity to tweak my show and get feedback.
I enjoy hearing the accolades from the audience. But the part that I enjoy the most is hearing what people have to say between the lines of ego-boosting verbiage. It is always easy to say “great show”. I love engaging audience members with questions like “What did you find the most memorable moment?”, “What struck you as if it did not belong” and “What would you improve?”. The show needs continuity. As a comedy writer, I listen to my audience’s point of view to write material that will strike a chord and deliver and impact unlike any other. Because of that, my stage routines have transcended through the invaluable use of that feedback. Some material has evolved, while other bits got dropped to make room for more elaborately crafted comedy material. This helps keep the show fresh and constantly evolving. However, not all material gets put away in your “bag of tricks”. At one point, I dropped several routines from the show to make room for new material. You only get so much time onstage, so bits get put away, retoooled with the times, changed for better effect. This allows me to be universal and have material for any occasion - from corporate events to college shows to television appearances. Regular audience members in numerous cities have guided me to rethink about dropping some rouitnes that I now consider signature bits. Every performer needs them. People come to the show to see and hear them again and are dissappointed when left out of the performance. Every unforgettable performer needs them. I strive to be that performer and hope to live in the hearts and minds of my audiences long after the show is over.
