BWAHA! OMLordt. That would've been irritating to me, too, but fist bump to Rachel for getting through it. But the fact that this woman's laugh has been heard before at another show is HILARE! It's like The Scream you hear in the Star Wars movie and now you hear it everywhere. LOL. But to answer your questions:
1) Have you experienced some strange audience members? I don't think I have. I don't do comedy shows very often, so I feel this is the only place where something like this would occur. I've been to theater shows, but at places like that, you wouldn't DARE act out, y'know?
2) Do you have a ludicrously loud laugh? I have a loud laugh. Don't know if it's ludicrous. Someone once told me I have a Julia Roberts laugh. I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
They should screen people for their laughs upon entry. Just like roller coasters at an amusement park. If you're not tall enough, you're simply not allowed on the ride. If you have a laugh that grates nerves like a cheese grater, nope. Sorry! We're full. My wife and I know a woman who we like until she laughs and then it's just unbearable--it's the kind of laugh that knocks you down and makes your eyes blink as though someone is hammering right beside you. I can't think of the movie Crazy Heart (with Jeff Bridges as a washed-up and whiskey-soaked country singer) without thinking of the dork in front of me shaking his popcorn bag into his face for the entire movie to eliminate hand-popcorn eye coordination.
I don't know what it says about me that I listened to your audio noises multiple times, but they made me die laughing. [Substack newbie over here] I didn't know you could drop audio snippets in posts like this, but now that I do... YOU get the award for the best use case. 🤣
It looks like some people were having issues listening to the snippets, I think they probably work best if the person is just on the email, if in the App, Substack now puts together a 'playlist' of the audio in your inbox and keeps playing one after the other, doh!
Well, you're quicker than I was. I couldn’t hear the laugh at first—turns out my sound was off. I switched it on, expecting laughter, but got a man talking about a script instead. Turns out, when one clip ends, Substack just moves on to the next. Took me a while to finally catch the laugh!
It’s probably the only thing I’ve been accused of being quick at all month! 🤣 I think the universe just knew I really needed weird sounds to brighten up my day.

How very demure, I think my laugh is more Sid James than Julia Roberts! 😂

It is astonishing how these people haven't managed to train their laugh down a bit.
I thought I had a big laugh, but I'm not even in the ballpark of some that I encounter! 😂 😂
Maybe that’s where the expression “laughing stock” came from. She’s part of it and there’s more where she came from!

I'm glad they made you laugh though! 😂
It sounds like I was the only one who got the intended experience… thank you, universe! 🤣

I think that auto-play feature kicked in when they introduced the media button, it doesn’t really work with sound snippets! 😂

Love that! 😂
