In improv, you’re often taught to “have fun” or “enjoy yourself” onstage — the idea being that if you’re having fun in your scene, chances are high the audience will, too. But I also think having fun isn’t really something that can be measured, especially not by the built-in laugh-o-meter that resides in your head. I think that once you can rewire your brain to understand that there should not be a causal relationship between having fun and getting laughs, then things are more likely to fall in place on a regular basis. Or something.
