Ah, poor Pinkie. Gotta admit though that so far Pinkie's player did a nice job of showcasing a bard regardless. That's usually the key, you can always try to remove your limitations, but it's usually more efficient to just avoid the pitfalls altogether by keeping to what you do right. Alternatively, there's also the creatively empowering option of working around one's limitations by tweaking one's strong suits into masking said limitations.
Comedy is hard.
Music theory is hard.
Musical comedy is hard squared to work with, bard none.

And Tim Minchin, and Victor Borge, Tom Lehrer, the Marx Brothers...
Just count the number of comedians out there, then count the number of musicians, then count the number of comedy-musicians. You have a quantifiable example of how difficult it is!

We can add Johnathan Coulton and NSP to that last as well!
And Stan Freberg and Spike Jones.
Spike Jones was an absolute sensation back in his day. There really wasn't anything like him before besides perhaps a few vaudeville acts. His 'orchestra' would often play the first bit of a song completely straight, to prove that yes, they are talented musicians who know how to play. Then the wacky kicks in and goes up to eleven.

No shame in that, Pinkie! Improv comedy is a lot harder than just making up funny stuff on the spot. Throw in music and the difficulty just grows...
This is why Wayne Brady is a GOD on Whose Line Is It Anyway.
Even when he can't spell "Howard."
Though, to be fair on him, it is kinda hard to spell accurately at 210 beats per minute.
