One of the things about crowd work that's so exciting is when you discover a character in the audience who's interesting or funny, who you can vibe off of.

The best is when something that they're doing can reflect back on something that you're doing.

All too often we say of a man doing a good job that he is indispensable. A flattering canard, as so many disillusioned and retired and fired have discovered when the world seems to keep on turning without them.
