If you have that much juggling down, work with it. Play it up. Get others involved somehow. Play "pick up and drop", if necessary (where you drop a club, have a kid run to pick it up for you, then drop another - or you can do it entirely by yourself as a physical comedy piece, too.) Maybe get some scarves, also, and use them to interact with the audience. Use what little Korean you have to connect, use maybe a funny English word or two at the right moment that they can identify with. Just focus on what you DO have and go with it. It will build naturally and you'll find yourself filling up fifteen minutes eventually without a problem. Also, recognize what they say on another board, "Your first 100 shows will suck." But that's alright, because you will learn from them and you have to get through that stage to get better. So, as the Nike commercial used to suggest, "Just do it!"
