They can’t figure out how to get the grid view to work on Zoom, but they’ve force muted everyone because babies are crying in the background. They’re “optimistic pessimists” about when things will return to normal. They can’t get any work done at home because their kids are shoving a monster truck in their face.
On Doing Stand-up Over Zoom I’ve been doing these Zoom shows, and I do miss hearing the laughs. There’s no substitute to hearing that live. And I’m sure when we go back to doing shows with people, it’ll be a rude awakening or very exciting to hear, Oh my gosh, that’s what people find funny or That’s what’s doing well. Because now, I’m definitely in a bit of a vacuum.
I love that people are having a good time. Yesterday was the first time I shut down the chat room, because it seemed like other people were getting stressed about it. Because I’m doing the same show every day. So people who had seen the material before were kind of leading on punch lines. What are you gonna do?
I think this COVID-19 crisis has exposed just how unsteady of a foundation comedy has existed upon. And I’m almost shocked at how quickly some of the clubs have already just, Ah yeah, we’re gonna let our workers go. We can’t afford to keep them, we can’t pay them. So I think that it’s gonna be a slow go to come back to that type of norm.
On Writing Stand-up Post-Coronavirus September 12th was, “Can I laugh?” Whereas now it’s, “Should I leave the house?” Do you understand what a cough would do to a comedy show right now? It’d be the same as a gunshot. So how do you tell jokes in an environment like that? The one thing I have stopped doing during the quarantine is I’ve stopped working on my stand-up. I’ve turned creatively to working on scripts, and there’s a book proposal that I want to get done. There’s a film I want to write.
