I remember going to a late night improv show where only about 1/8 of the theater filled up, but the performers got everyone to bunch up in the front, telling us "You'll laugh harder if the person next to you is laughing too."
I heard back in the Jon Stewart days of the Daily Show, they'd whip the crowd up into a drunken frenzy before unleashing them on the studio and the Daily Show audience was noticeably more enthusiastic than any other show on TV (they probably still do this, but I haven't watched in a long while).
