"Although Davis and Kenyon kept the audience rollicking with their presentation..."

Does this seem like an odd use of "rollicking" to anyone else? I don't know why it does to me - it just doesn't ring true somehow. I looked it up and I guess it sort of works in the context - it just seems weird to me....Maybe I think of rollicking as being something that takes place somewhere other than in an audience - like, at a carnival or fun fair or the circus (clowns in the ring)....
