Ian Lara shows his story-to-stage process using his Africa bit as a live example. Start with a walk and a raw outline, then type it up and hunt for beats that can carry laughs every line. If a section is flat, make it funnier or cut it; if the ending is not ready, park the piece in the middle of the set until the button reveals itself. This is a practical system for comics and fans who want to see how punchy storytelling is built, not guessed.
