Not Kabuki

I have recently learned that I apparently am one of the finest comics of our time. My work consistently has my audience fixed and giggling uncontrollably from start to finish. Here, on the internets for the first time, I briefly raise the curtain on two of my most acclaimed acts.

Daddy and Mommy Two-Heads
Dinner theatre. While protagonist feeds audience, second character sneaks in from off-stage and pops up over protagonist's shoulder, working to convey the appearance of a second head belonging to protagonist. Second character then murmers "One person, two heads. Dommy. Maddy. Moddy. Dammy," while mysteriously floating behind protagonist from one shoulder to the other.

Raspberry Belly Creature on the Brink
Impromptu street theatre. Performer approaches audience member and kicks off production with large raspberry applied to audience member's belly. This generally elicits a nervous giggle. Then, protagonist hovers near belly, allowing dramatic tension to build. A second raspberry is applied with proper comic timing. Subsequent raspberries are proffered, with raspberry-less feints at belly at performer's discretion.

ETA: Evidently, singing "Yellow Rose of Texas" with a tupperware lid on your head, then stopping mid-"Tex-" when lid is lifted? Also very well-received.
