Ok, so you need a crew. You need your own polite heckler, weird laugher, noisy kid etc up there on stage with you. All be seated and just stare at the audience and wait for one of them to make a hilarious joke – and you counter joke … Pretty soon nobody would know WTF their role was. Could be a hoot.
Actually, you could have a whole show of imitation weird laughs. FM and I went to a comedy show and there was a woman who fitted that bill in the audience. In the end EVERYONE (including the comedian) was in fits of rolling laughter every time she opened up. Which was all the time. In the end, it was OK to avoid breaking up the mirth with actual jokes. After all, we went there to have a good laugh so it was money for jam for the comedian – and everyone had a great time.

‘Chats during the show’ mob can be combined with the crinkly-paper brigade and, on one rotten occasion I copped an ancient couple, the male of whom was deaf. Dear Mrs False-teeth-gnashing had to explain the movie plot over and over again to himself and we actually ended up hitting each other.
