It's an editing technique called 'cutting away'.
The editor takes two separate pieces of film he wishes to join, and inserts another piece of film between them, to make the cut less obvious. In a comedy routine, he will edit out some parts, and splice other parts together, using shots of the audience to link them. It does mean that the audience shot can be of something which they found hilarios, and not necessarily the piece of film that went before it. In interview sequences, these edits are done byt cutting to the interviwwer, usually noding, or in the case of Melvin Bragg, gurning like a loon, and are known as 'noddies' in the trade.
