The night before, spill various alcoholic beverages on the carpet, turn off the lights, enlist a few confused tourists to sit in the seat near the TV, arrange for a few strangers to barge in in the middle of the show, and then – if you plan on staying in a hotel – flush $200 down the toilet.
Alternatively, just sit back and watch an hour of selected comedy shows from the Edinburgh Fringe, some good and some bad. Try to remember the best gags to steal and use for your own. And remember, if you see someone making it, you “saw them in Edinburgh years ago and they were terrible.”
