If I get a hard audience they are not going to get away until they laugh. Those seven laughs a minute - I've got to have them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I guess my idea of a good audience is one that's quiet and listens, but also that's alive: they respond, they're getting the jokes, they're with me. And that' s been happening.
Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.
I'm really not that funny in real life! But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh.
I try to make the majority of my audience laugh. That's my audience. They'll laugh at the dead terrorist.
The best way to make your audience laugh is to start laughing yourself.
I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.
And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy.
You can't instruct an audience to laugh, but what you can do is read well and understand the spirit and subtleties, if there are any, in the dialogue.
I'm a good audience in general, but it's hard to make me laugh.
What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.
