    Very accurate!
    I can say as someone who's done traveling shows that we don't mind when the audience does laugh loudly.
    We were doing a comedy one time in a very small town. No one laughed. We kept professional, but kept shooting glances at each other and back stage was whispering up a storm. Just what went wrong??
    After a nice older woman came up and said she loved it. So much she barely held back her laughter.
    When we told her it was fine. She was supposed to laugh she clutched her chest and exclaimed, "in a theatre?! That wouldn't be proper!"

      Plenty of audiences I've been in for West End, East London local venues, and the National have laughed heartily... Is this a regional tradition, perhaps?

Unfortunately, our school is always assigned to the balcony… I’m talking worst seats in the house! It never fails that some of my students lose interest…often they ask why they’re watching such a small tablet screen and how do we turn up the volume? 😂 They’re so confused when I tell them we’re watching real people on a stage (even though we discuss theaters vs movie theaters before going).

    Theatre is my first choice as I love the closeness and immediacy of it. Cinema is also fantastic and I love being able to sit and read the credits at the end. This sketch was a great combination and comment on both. As always you are so good in the creativity, and execution. Warm happy glow for the rest of my Auditing today. Thank you xxx

    Really good sketch. I expected Snob to participate more, but either way, he pointed out. It's funny that Snob and Foil's characters are more similar than I've expected, that why Snob didn't participate much. My sister and I smiled very much at your show in Vienna, so I think you can laugh louder than expected.

      I feel like Hog dressed as the snob character on purpose. Like, he could have worn anything else and sat in the background.
      I also like how it leaves so much to the imagination. Is it the Snob? Does the Snob have a twin? Did the Snob bore the guards to death and break out of jail only to go back the the theatre? Is this a continuity error? Is there a multiverse with different versions of the Snob?...

    To add even more confusion, In some places (Where I'm from atleast), Cinemas are often called "Movie Theatres", Or simply "Theatres" for short. And Plays are sometimes called simply "Shows", Which coincidentally can also refer to a TV show.

Although the unspoken rules of theatre are a bit more relaxed where I'm studying, some people in the audience still manage to be a pain! But I agree, first row seats are the worst. Also, how do they manage to lie there for the whole play? I also have to look at the chest for signs of life 😂
