One of the biggest battles most every comedian, comedy entertainer, or speaking professional faces involves stage fright—those uncomfortable feelings of impending doom and the exacerbation of self doubt.
These issues are compounded when a performer realizes that this condition is having an adverse affect on their level of performance.

When I write about fear of public speaking and stage fright, it’s from first hand experience. I suffered from severe stage fright when I made the decision to become a comedian.
While I have been totally free from stage fright for many years now, I have never forgotten what it felt like when I had stage fright — the nausea, excessive dry mouth, shaking hands, profuse sweating and the need for frequent urination before a show.
Now, it all seems so darned silly to me. But it certainly didn’t seem silly at the time. I had stage fright that was so severe that I knew I didn’t have a chance of making any real progress as comedian unless I could get rid of it.
