A comedy promise refers to the expectation set by a comedic premise or setup that suggests a humorous outcome. It often involves the introduction of a unique situation, character, or conflict that leads the audience to anticipate laughter through the resolution or escalation of the comedy. This promise relies on elements like timing, delivery, and character interactions to fulfill the audience's expectations. Ultimately, it serves as a foundation for the comedic narrative, guiding the audience's engagement with the humor.

Aristotle's theory of comedy, as outlined in his "Poetics," suggests that comedy is a form of imitation that focuses on the absurdities and incongruities of human behavior, often resulting in laughter. He believed that comedy typically features characters of lower social status and portrays them in a light-hearted manner, ultimately aiming to provoke amusement and catharsis in the audience.

An actor holds his movement or next line until the laugh from the audience evoked by the previous moment subsides. Holding for laughs is important in live comedy as the next line will be lost in the laughter. That is, the audience will not hear the line. It is also important to give the audience time to laugh. If actors routinely "step on laughs" the audience will stop laughing for fear of missing something. Such an audience doesn't have nearly as much fun.
