I've noticed there's an obedience with a theatre crowd. It's a formal event, practically. [But on hotel gigs] people feel more confident and they're more boisterous. There's just better energy in them. You're there to make them laugh. You can talk about whatever you want, as long as it's funny. It's more of a marketplace kind of standup. More like standing on a few fruit crates and trying to get the attention of passersby in downtown Marrakesh. I prefer that.
