The "try to make everyone laugh" syndrome is a sure sign that you are feeling insecure (along with the desire to "act")
As a fellow actor, I'd say the most you should learn are the lines that lead into your own, not every actor's lines. Knowing the whole piece like that might be considered pretentious by the other performers.
