Meaning
This reads as praise for restraint in performance. It suggests that comedy works best when it does not strain for attention, and that the admired style here is calm, controlled, and unshowy rather than frantic. It lands in a rehearsal room or on stage, when a performer is deciding whether to push harder or trust quieter timing.
