fluffers

Those who aerate

Fluffers is the plural of fluffer—a person employed on pornographic film sets to keep male performers aroused between takes.

The term has expanded to describe anyone who preps or hypes: a warm-up act before a headliner, or staff who arrange food for photography.

The comedy club uses local comics as fluffers for the touring acts.
