Act Comedy

Famous quotes containing the words act and/or comedy:

    Humour is the making others act or talk absurdly and unconsciously; wit is the pointing out and ridiculing that absurdity consciously, and with more or less ill-nature.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
