– Formula: a family member is a source of humor. Select a family with who has a strange trait. What is the quality that makes them weird? Angry, foul mouth, My grandmother has aptamers … Now have them do something that shows their condition.
– A family member may be self-centered. You are telling about your own challenge and mother relies on we need to talk about it. Then act them out
– Mother not very honest, She is very harsh. He acted it out by him asking her who is father is. She says mind your own business. Can you imagine my mother as a suicide counselor?
– The only difference between a pro comedian and not is the pro will write down the sketch and then see which are better.
– Make sure you work with someone where you don’t have to sensor yourself with language in the creation process. Get some authentic energy had attitude, then you can edit. The idea needs or the reasons need to make sense. Have a list of three and have a surprise ending. Whoever you act like that person, you must become them. It’s always fun to have the character of a dog with an accent.
