Few things as awkward as an entire theater of people falling completely silent before show start only to listen to almost the entirety of Daniel Johnston's Devil Town on the house music... and THEN someone walks out to do pre-show announcements because was actually starting five minutes late and closing the side curtain wasn't a signal.

Shu like "heeeeey hi folks I'm here to save you from the music. Was that depressing and awkward for anyone else?"
