I love when the music is really coming from the heart of the machine, when the sound is pure and raw. Comedy old- of Menace suggests that although they are funny, they are also frightening or menacing in a vague and undefined not-way. Even as they laugh, the audience are unsettled, ill at ease and uncomfortable.”
