You need to find the size of performance that's appropriate to the material, appropriate to the shot, or appropriate to the scene.

I'm a singer and performer in a hybrid show that's standup, music and audience participation.

'Broadway Bound' is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of my happiest times on Broadway.
stories
Every poker player, like every fisherman, needs to have a story in a box, and most poker stories are completely uninteresting.
