play for laughs



play for laughs

To do, act, or perform with the express intention of being funny; to do something for comedic effect. I do like getting dramatic roles, but if I'm honest, I prefer playing for laughs when I act. While many took offense at the rather unsavory theater piece, I can't help feeling like the whole thing was, at heart, being played for laughs.
