Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I guess you'd have to say that sometimes the audience is smarter than the critics.
I've always been fascinated by the difference between the jokes you can tell your friends but you can't tell to an audience. There's a fine line you have to tread because you don't know who is out there in the auditorium. A lot of people are too easily offended.
In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.
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.
Audiences can be very judgmental.
Your audience is a lot smarter than you realize.
I think the audience is pretty intelligent.
Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.
There's nothing more instructive than the immediate response of an audience.
