Ok, I can't hold this any longer...
What the hell is it with people getting gigs, whether it be stage, close-up, whatever when they don't even have a show or know what to perform? Thats just freaking crazy.
Learn material, work hard, THEN get gigs. And even if you don't have a clue, thats how you learn. Trial and error is the only way anyone learns, not just asking "what should I do".
For goodness sakes, respect this art enough to work on routines and not just "learn tricks" for a show you ignorantly accepted.
