play the truth of the character and the situation, the comedy comes when your character believes he's/she's serious and for real. you have to trust that the comedy will happen. laughs are not going to come in rehearsals. they're going to have heard the jokes over and over, so forget trying to get laughs in rehearsal. it'll happen with an audience and y'know what? most of the time the laughs aren't where we plan them anyway. so don't plan for jokes or laughs. play the truth. it'll be funny.
