'Grifter' gets a bad connotation.
I think of it more like "mercenary".
Something more relevant but they stole it from antiquity. & they ate that up like absolute slobs.
& really, they're all addicted to the same shit everyone else is just 10x worse. Social media/ fame.
Anyways, Shakespear might not have known the audience was part of the play. He wasn't just the greatest playwright. What he had was the greatest audience in the world.
Take it or leave it.
Comedy looks like people shooting themselves in the foo't then posting it online.
