COMEDY TRIP

No... it's not a day out at Custard Pie Park in Prestatyn! It's a bit of funny physicality, which is easy to execute, but difficult to describe.

During a normal walk, the left foot goes forward. As the right foot follows, it is turned sideways, and the front part of the right foot is dragged quickly against the heel of the left foot.

This is followed by an exaggerated pitch forward. Practice so that it can be done smoothly, to give the impression that it’s an actual trip.

Don’t look down at your feet whilst doing it. It’s the pitch forward that makes it work – Newton's third law: ‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’… or something like that.

I am very right-handed, perhaps if you are left-handed you might find it easier to strike the left foot with the right foot. Whichever way, try to make it look as natural as possible.
