"Paid audience member. A lot of those pre-taped boring @$$ shows that has the crowd laughing hysterically somehow despite the utter s@#t/unfunny going on? Yeah, they’re a bunch of Angelinos being paid minimum wage to sit there and laugh and clap on command.

Did that quite a bit in the lean years when I was still trying to be a professional musician in the scene. Thanks to that, I discovered my personal hell – being stuck in a room with unfunny “comedians” and being forced to laugh at their jokes for $9 an hour at the time (this was in the mid 2010’s)"
