I never think in terms of target audience. I try to write what makes me laugh, so I'm the target audience. I guess I just hope there's another person in America like me.

Eric Idle

Great stories agree with our worldview. The best stories don't teach people anything new. Instead the best stories agree with what the audience already believes and makes the members of the audience feel smart and secure when reminded how right they were in the thirst place.

Seth Godin

Ultimately, an audience wants to laugh. That's who they like, the comedian who makes them laugh.

Ted Alexandro

In a live setting, the audience is trapped and can't leave. That really makes the audience be with you and laugh more because you're there.

Adam Conover

I can only write what makes me laugh, and what makes me laugh is the comedy I grew up on.

Brendan O'Carroll

There's a guy in the audience with a distinctive laugh. I hope that guy is miked. The only problem with having a distinctive laugh is I know exactly when that guy isn't laughing. "Oh, distinctive laugh doesn't think that joke was funny!"

Mitch Hedberg

Write what makes you laugh not what you think will make someone else laugh.

Armando Iannucci

The audience works as such a mob. They either all laugh or all don't laugh, and, you know, changes from audience to audience.

Sarah Silverman

What I hope is that the book [Bink & Gollie] delights children. What I hope is that they laugh and laugh and laugh, just as we did when we wrote them.

Kate DiCamillo

I think you have to do the stories that interest you and hope an audience likes it, rather than doing stories that you think the audience will like, whether you like them or not. I think there has to be something that you find compelling and interesting, and then hopefully an audience will agree with you.

David Shore

I was afraid no one would laugh, and I wanted to pretend I wasn't noticing the audience. I didn't want the audience to get the idea I was telling a joke and waiting for a laugh.

Mort Sahl

Lavatorial humour is just not my cup of tea. But, having said that, I'm really of the mind that comedy is so subjective and whatever makes you laugh makes you laugh. If it doesn't make you laugh, don't watch it.

Ruth Jones

If I have a strong dislike for something, obviously that garners an equal amount of derision, towards me from the audience. And that's fine, as long as it's within the bounds of decency and isn't too personal in the vitriol. That's what makes the blog interesting, and that's what makes reading it interesting and that's what makes writing interesting. You don't want everyone to agree.

Carrie Brownstein

I try to make the majority of my audience laugh. That's my audience. They'll laugh at the dead terrorist.

Jeff Dunham

I don't ever try to anticipate my audience. I just write the songs I want to write, and hope people like 'em.

Lyle Lovett

The best way to make friends with an audience is to make them laugh. You don't get people to laugh unless they surrender - surrender their defenses, their hostilities. And once you make an audience laugh, they're with you. And they listen to you if you've got something to say. I have a theory that if you can make them laugh, they're your friends.

Frank Capra
