In an effort to stay away from the procrastination monster, I decided not to cancel performing an excerpt of my one-woman show, 'When You Hit Your Funny Bone' this Monday at The Marsh in SF. I have been so down on the project since I cannot seem to engage collaborators, but as a little kick in the pants, I have kept my two slots. And I am all set to play on Monday and if I fail, I fail.
Okay, fail is a bit harsh. I don't think that's possible, but it may not be as strong as I'd like it. But attendance on these evenings is pretty low, so if I suck, there's a good chance it won't be in front of anyone I know and it won't be many people.
I decided to play with what worked well in the original. The Laugh Score, One for the Ladies, the Humor Test and I am playing with the definitions of Laughter, Comedy and Humor. I'm also introducing the Scientist character and the Shot Girl in greater detail.
Luckily my weekend is rather light in the schedule department so I will have time to play. It's a prop heavy show, so I will need to figure out how to quickly pre-set and strike. I also burned the pants I usually wear, so I'll have to figure out costuming, too.
Dude, funny is hard work.
Wish me luck. Or broken funny bones.
