The best audience is intelligent, well-educated and a little

Summary

This quote suggests that the most enjoyable and receptive audience is one that possesses intellect and knowledge, while also being in a slightly tipsy state. It implies that when individuals are intelligent and educated, they are more likely to fully comprehend and appreciate the content being presented. At the same time, a slight level of intoxication can potentially enhance their openness and engagement, making them even more receptive to the information or performance being delivered. However, it's important to note that this quote may also be lighthearted or playful in nature, rather than a strict recommendation.
