Tomorrow I’m in a show called Sunday Scaries…sort of in the show. What happens in the show is that someone tells their paranormal story, and it’s acted out by an improv troupe. I have two paranormal stories, one is about a ghost that I took a picture of (I didn’t see it in front of me, just in the picture), and the other is the UFO that I took video of (I don’t think it’s an alien spacecraft, but it’s definitely unidentified).
I’m there to tell my story, but I’m going to have a few jokes written, so I have some laughs in my back pocket. When doing any sort of interview, I think it’s important to think about it and plan a couple of things. Be prepared, even if you don’t use what you’ve thought of.
For this, I don’t think I’m there to be throwing out punchlines; I’m there to tell my story and let the improv group get the laughs, but I’ll have a few laughs ready to go.
