After:  Rachel Rothenberg
Before:  Ron Finger

I did my first online streaming comedy show this evening...it was an interesting experience to say the least.  It can be tough to figure out the audience reaction in that kind of environment but it was a fun time...I only tried out one new-ish joke and otherwise did a standard set.  I could tell I had some stage rust (so to speak)...I need to practice my material more often.  Of course, who knows when live comedy will be a thing again...
