You can then mix it with the @viz approach above.
I highly recommend getting your note choices in a 5/6 fret area and do some continuous scale/apreggio exercises. This will help with smooth connections in your phrasing, particularly to non diatonic chords.
Focus on the bits that give you grief. 2 bars at a time and extending the length of the chords if needed. Move to 4 bars and so on until you feel confident enough to tackle the whole section you need to play over.
Half the battle is really knowing the fretboard so don’t be afraid to compose a solo! By doing so, you’ll naturally re-work it and it’ll orangically develop in your playing while giving you something definite to play.
This is a more long term approach and you might not see results in time for your gig. But it’s well worth the effort in the long run. Good luck.

2nd edit - acutally I'd try full C natural minor in bars 5-8 or maybe even something like G phrygian dominant - you need to make that Ab work.

Well basically yes, because there comes a time when playing the 'right notes' - ie notes that don't clash with the chords (or at least if they do it's intentional) - is totally automatic for anyone who can improvise at a reasonable level, even if one's never heard the song before. Unless it's Giant Steps or something.
It's playing a satisfying melody that’s not just a generic noodle that's the goal, and it feels great when you achieve it and play something really stunning and unique.
