The abandon of comedy is always there, though, the feeling of, “Fuck it, let’s try that TONIGHT!” because the audience’s expectations are different at a late-night comedy thing and they don’t mind crappy props and people reading scripts, and if it dies there’s always tomorrow. Which is why comics, or comic actors, or character comics – or whatever you wanna call them – often, for me, get closer to the essence of theatre than theatre (not that I see any hierarchy or even anything except a perceived distinction).
