BEER misc. "playing with the audience"

[David Morris]

What I meant by his playing with the audience has to do with theatrical
conventions like a winking aside comment, letting us be insiders in a joke
being played out.  Another aspect of this has to do with a kind of banter
that is so full of exaggerated silliness that would never be heard in
actual conversation.  I'll try to cite specific examples as I read on.
