I'm definitely guilty of thinking something is funny but thinking the audience won't. Then three years later I will finally try it and it'll kill them. I got to give them more credit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've experienced plenty of times when something I think is funny doesn't do very well. And there are times when something I don't think is funny makes the audience laugh so hard.
I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do.
I try to make the majority of my audience laugh. That's my audience. They'll laugh at the dead terrorist.
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.
A lot of my humor centers on the act of telling jokes and I think this can prevent certain audiences from suspending their feeling of disbelief. It might piss a few people off, but I can't help it.
I could keep trying to do the same kind of comedies. You know how it's going to go, and you can get an audience with it, but then I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
If I say a joke and the audience laughs it makes me feel good.
I suppose I'm going on stage and making jokes about the fact that the audience are expecting the show to be about something and that they might learn something.
I have been accused of making people laugh, maybe when it's not appropriate, during scenes.
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.
