Workshopping Sunny's act for America's Got Talent - 2/2023

To prepare for America's Got Talent, I took Sunny to open mics all over New York City. Because I had no idea what madness would occur once I walked onto the World's Largest Stage, my improvisational skills needed to be sharp -- without this piece, I could easily be found out. Working it out on stage helped me develop all of the little details and nuances to Sunny's character - his ladyfriend pea, his admiration for Sofia Vergara - these details gave Sunny legitimacy, and it turned out that they were as important as the bits (the cards, the egg shakers, the list of song names). I was a little sad I didn't get to the song list. I really wanted to ask Simon Cowell if I could borrow his 'readers.'
