TC,
as entertainers, we all have our strengths and weaknesses during our performances.
What do you think are the strongest parts in your performances? Do you feel it's your natural abilities, or was it something that you worked towards obtaining?

Along that same line of thinking, what in your opinion would be your weakest area? As a performer, do you work towards improving the weak areas, or do you avoid them, relying more on your strong points?

I think my greatest strength is my creativity, and my greatest weakness is my creativity.

I usually get an idea and run with it, but then I get another idea and start running with that, good thing I never have ideas about scissors.

I am horrible at finishing things. "I’m an idea man Chuck" (anyone know what movie that’s from?)

On stage my greatest strength, without a doubt, is I’m likeable. People seem at ease with me right away, that’s why I can get away with stupid stuff, sometimes. If the audience likes you, you can get away with a lot more.

I think I am very non-threaten, even though I have a go at people, they like me. I do make it clear that it is all in fun. How does one do that you ask? I make fun of myself first, by be self-depreciating,
I believe they (the audience) knows I am not serious.

I know one of my weakness is, I tend to underplay things. I am often too subtle for most folks. Which is ok sometimes. If a bit doesn’t go down well, I make fun of the fact that it didn’t work. Johnny Carson was a master at this.


Oh, and doughnuts…

I'm going with Night Shift. All time classic if there ever was one.
