Does anyone here experience stage fright? I used to, and the way I learned to cure that was concentrating on my act and what I need to do. (ie my mission). The more I speak to my figure and focus on my routine the more everything takes care of itself. I think some stage fright is normal. Has anyone else ever dealt with this, and how did you overcome it?

Willie Brown & Friends will be performing for a cancer awareness fundraiser in Hyattsville, MD this Saturday. For tickets and information scan the barcode on the flyer. It's going to be a great time.

Willie Brown, Woody, Uncle Rufus, and Aunt Tee will be performing in Bowie, MD on Friday, April 24 and it's a free show. On Saturday he will be at Busboys and Poets in Hyattsville, MD for a cancer awareness fundraiser. Come on out and have fun.

Take your money and run. (Just kidding but not really). How do you cope after a performance goes sideways? I eat ice cream, cry, but then evaluate what could have gone better. Or I assess the situation (sometimes it’s not you but a client or booker who is cheap/hasn’t thought things through) and brainstorm on how to avoid that next time. Or I have a comeback up my character’s sleeve. I always say the only bad show is the show you don’t learn from. What do you do after that happens to you?
