LiteraryLark I love to laugh. Its the best medicine, as they say. I used to want to do improv but I'm pretty sure it would be a wrong fit for me, some of the reasons why were reasons you also described. There are many ways to be playful and make people laugh just in everyday conversation, thankfully. You don't have to go on stage to make others laugh. But, if you ever did want to, I believe in you.
