hi bill, ive been part of this show where me and someone else read stuff and try to make comedy with it. weve been morphing the format over time to tailor it to a specific imaginary viewership as well as trying to "emulate what works on youtube" and lately magic has felt a little bit lacking. the big dilemma is, how much should we prepare vs how much should we not prepare to have a good consistent show. it feels like if its based on improv, 100% not prepared is the way to go, just choose something to read and jump in live. its really tough finding that balance between what should be prepared or "practiced" or "planned", but the more i think about it the more it feels like we need to jump in blind if we really mean this to be a show that relies on improv for the fun. do you have any thoughts on this preparation/pre-planning/practiced dynamic?
if you've never done any show, then you really won't have any idea of how it's going to go until you do it
