Performance tip
Keep the delivery dry and cheerful rather than overacting every joke. The whistled section is the audience’s cue to join, so pause, smile, and let the room take part.
Should you sing it?
Sing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” when you can make the character clear from the first line. It works best when the crowd can recognize the payoff and come in naturally. A different song may fit better if the room is unlikely to understand the humor.
