Does anyone have any experience of doing this kind of performing and does anyone have any advice for me?

Yes, and yes.

It all boils down to one essential which is essential, which is sort of a distillation of the advice given in your previous round of questions about your desire to do story-telling. That is, just go do it. In other words, exercise the gift, and trust the gift, and trust that the gift will develop if you do this. Just go do it.

Don't overprepare to overprepare so that you can please people. Just go do it.

Let hindsight show you whether you have pleased them, and in what areas, and in what areas you need to develop. Use your time not to ask advice and follow up on advice given, nor to read all the old threads-- Just go do it.

Don't visit in order to scope it out-- visit in order to sit next to some residents and let a story emerge from you spontaneously.

Just go do it.

In friendship, and from experience,

~Susan
