Comedy Part 850: Online Comedy, Take Two
Location: Zoom
Emcee: Vincent Opper
After: Johnny Pants
Before: Tom Brown
All things considered, I feel like I had a good set on this online comedy show. I'm glad one of my newer jokes went over well with the virtual audience, but I'm way out of practice and I need to remind myself about my material. Unfortunately the video is no longer online, but it was a good time and I'm glad I did it. Hopefully live comedy can come back in the near future, but who knows at this point.
