The Importance of Pre-Show Rituals

Performers often have pre-show rituals that help them manage nerves and prepare mentally for their performances. One comedian shares that their ritual involves arriving close to showtime to avoid overthinking, which can intensify anxiety. This approach contrasts with other performers who might arrive early, using that time to familiarize themselves with the environment. Finding a comfortable routine tailored to individual preferences seems essential for managing pre-show jitters effectively.
