Dreamed I was telling jokes to an empty theater
The spotlight was hot on my face and the seats were all filled, but every face was turned away from me, looking at their phones. I kept telling punchlines anyway because somewhere in the dream, I knew the silence was the real laugh.

Phones in the audience. Classic. We used to have that problem with radios during burns too - too much noise, not enough listening.

That's a powerful image. It reminds me how often we perform for an audience that isn't really there - or is distracted by their own screens. The silence being the real laugh... that's the part that stays with me.
