Yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga. Being physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to climb uphill both ways and rip your heart outta your chest every night is paramount.
Next, rehearsal: must be ready to do the show upside-down, inside-out, standing on your head, while weaving baskets under water. Tech: getting one’s projections sorted and crew prepared (not a small task, given what a Luddite I actually am).
Shameless promotion: flyers and posters ordered, and interactive gimmicks for the Royal Mile ready! (Folks may remember me from 2014, in a beaded thong and matching bra, hawking my last show, “Carnival Knowledge” atop a pedicab– I have to at least top that!)
Press: spam all UK-based reviewers. (Sorry, not sorry!) Complete all necessary paperwork: ensuring one doesn’t get confiscated at customs or sued for music licensing, as well as convincing the venue you won’t burn the place down.
Packing: “American Horror Story” themed-apparel, check! The official Gilded Balloon color (hot-pink) everything, check! “American Whore Story” merch, check! Props (including ukulele and LED wings), check! Secure accommodations, buy flight, dust off passport, order uber, and go!
