Video Transcript:
I’m good with
um um muscular stuff working with my
hands and um identifying muscle groups
and and that’s that’s something I’m I’m
I’m pretty good with but uh but but yeah
the comedy writing and and and all that
was definitely a challenge is definitely
a challenge it it never I I shouldn’t
say it ever gets easier uh in a way it
does and in a way it it’s always a
challenge if you if you sit down and say
I’m gonna write a joke you’re not GNA
write anything if you if you uh are out
messing around with friends and that’s
what I do with a lot of my comedy I’m
out messing around talking to friends
and one of us will say something funny
one of us will come back with something
else and I’m like there’s a gem there
and I’m
going yeah
yep um so do you have any uh plans on
your next show or uh you know so
actually when I when I finished up at
the school um the the classroom
telephone rang actually and it was the
parent one of the moms of my son’s
friend um and uh she happens to have a
daycare and so the teacher and her just
got to talking while I was packing
everything up and um right before I left
she’s like so um Miss Grace wants to
have you over to her preschool to to um
do a do a show for her so I’ve I’ve been
in touch with her I haven’t set anything
up with her yet but um that’s my next
plan so um that’s going to be even more
reliant on the on the pantomime end of
things because the you know three four
year olds are really not going to
understand a whole lot of verbal jokes
yeah yeah you want to keep it nice and
tight for them uh you know very Visual
and uh it depends on the uh the audience
whether they’re going to sit there and
watch sometimes the young ones really
just wander all over the place so you
might encounter a little bit of that too
I learned years ago never to leave
anything where anyone could get
it well thanks I’ll take that to heart I
finished a show and I was swarmed and
people started walking off with my stuff
I was like no no no no no no no no it
was a m you can’t get those puppets
Walmart can you no you can’t
