crowdwork

Comic's audience banter

Crowdwork is the part of a stand-up comedy performance where the comedian interacts directly with audience members—asking questions, making observations, or riffing on their responses: She's great at crowdwork; she had the whole front row dying.

The term distinguishes improvised audience banter from prepared material.
