It's been asked that at the beginning of
the class that I give some time to
you guys that you can ask questions
about any aspect of comedy or some part
of what you're doing you don't
understand or what you can use some help with.
Do you have any questions?
(OS) Is every audience completely different?
Yes every audience is...sign...completely different? No.
Uhh...I, I, I find that there's...four general kinds of audiences.
Umm...the...umm...the ones that laugh at everything.
Okay. They laugh at your jokes,
they laugh at any improv you do or you know any riffing or anything you're doing,
There's ones that will laugh at material,
but don't want any interaction or anything like that at all.
There's the ones who don't want material,
only want kind of interaction.
and then there's the ones that don't laugh at anything.
(OS laughs)
But, you know.
So that, and now there an intermix, you know.
I've, I've uhh... the hardest ones for me to deal with were the ones that were split.
This half over here basically like improv and riffing.
And this half here only wanted jokes.
So y, y, ya couldn't please the whole thing.
So those show you kinda
do your best to kind of figure it out.
Uh. Or kind of do your material along with a
bunch of little ad-libs along the way.
Umm, so this is the reason that I'm always saying
the most important thing about stand-up comedy
is your relationship with the audience.
The first thing you want to do is be connected
to the group of people that's in front of you,
and get a read on them.
