Where as the comedian personifies one character on stage, but off the stage acts completely different from what he/she represented themselves to be while on stage. Resulting in the audience to become disenfranchised with that comic and no longer believing that person to be anything that they allegedly represent.

But after meeting said comic off stage after the show, said audience realizes that Comedian "X" is an jerk. Who's more interested in scoring a bag of weed and ignores peoples request for pictures and autographs. As where during the show the audience felt a kinship and relation to said comedian based on what that comedian was talking about.
