“As a comedian, when people laugh it’s very exciting… and when they don’t it feels like you’re performing jazz – they’re kind of bobbing their head, looking to the side – and sometimes that’s okay; I like jazz!

—Mike Birbiglia, as heard on “Ruining It for the Rest of Us”, an episode of This American Life
