dear matt,

"Applause are polite, laughs are primal" is great!

in Jesse David Fox's "Comedy Book," he shares that this was Colin Quinn's instruction to the Tough Crowd audience:

"Don't applaud. Either laugh or don't."

thanks for sharing as always!

love

Colin Quinn: "Don't applaud. Either laugh or don't." I dig it.

Vaguely reminds me of Jeselnik quote: "Groans are laughs for pussies."
