the bad comic one;
though they're both grim and admittedly have some kind of void connected to them
it's a different type of grim. the see is grim in it's aspect as Elizabeth browning is all thats best of dark and bright in hers. (George Byron's words)
the comic or his stage is grim not because of it/his aspect but because of humiliation or lack of skill. its a sad grim that comes from wanting more but not getting it.
in this instance the sea can't help but be grim.
and true to the meaning of the word;
1. Unrelenting; rigid.
2. Uninviting or unnerving in aspect; forbidding: "undoubtedly the grimmest part of him was his iron claw" (J.M. Barrie).
3. Ghastly; sinister: "He made a grim jest at the horrifying nature of his wound" (Reginald Pound). See Synonyms at ghastly.
4. Dismal; gloomy: a grim, rainy day.
5. Ferocious; savage:
the comedian on the other hand just isn't funny and the audience show disdain.
the still don't;
for me it would work better there and with an I before it.
as "still Don't" it feels a little blaze and petulant (just my opinion of course)
