I can't imagine a life without humor. Especially if you have an existential understanding of life, you must acknowledge the absurdity of it all.
My understanding of life is very existential. I think that we are our bodies. There's nothing else, and when we die, that's it. No afterlife.
At a certain point the audience shouldn't worry about catching every word and understanding every twist and turn, because at a certain point that's pretty much impossible.
