Doing any kind of a presentation in front of an audience is the number one fear in all people.

Especially in comedy, this area is subject to unyielding judgment and competition from others.

Research supports that preparation or rehearsal before performance increases the likelihood of giving a sense of trust in ourselves. Confidence is a trust in our ability to follow through on any given task or behavior. It comes from mastering a task. This “trust” is an essential ingredient of relaxation needed for the brain to function efficiently and creatively so the person’s behavior can exhibit a natural sense of flow; a flow which is more relative to the ‘smoothness’ of real life, or one that is more open and child-like in nature.
