I do strolling vent up in Tombstone with Tombstone Sheriff Deadeye Fred.

When I first started, boy did I have stage fright but the thing that cured me is so funny and bizarre. I learned how not to be afraid from watching the first episode of "The Partridge Family" which handled that problem. Look out just slightly above the audience to something in the back of the room like a clock. The audience thinks you are looking at them and you're not. I've been told that you should just look at the audience like they are in their underwear but trust me, seeing them with their clothes on was enough for my stomach to handle.
