As my wonderful friend, mentor, and fellow comedian Stephen Kruiser can testify, the best comedians are those who can predict an audience’s mood and energy. Whether it’s 12 people at a crappy bar gig in Altoona, 700 in a theatre, or 330 million in a nation brimming with Marxism, it doesn’t matter; we have a sixth sense when it comes to people vibes.
