How to Be Confident on Stage

I would write everything word perfect but I would try to not be word perfect. And then I could just look at it and see if there were enough laugh lines or not. When I was really good they would come out pretty different because I knew what the joke lines were. But getting to the joke lines would keep me in the moment if I wasn't you know word perfect. So I'd go on stage and truly the plan was no plan. I was like I do not know what I'm going to say until I get to the microphone. That's what I miss most. Being confident. In my stand up. Yeah.
