David Boyle on Comedy's New Era: From Stage to Screen

They're not going to let you cram a couple of hundred people into live venues anymore- not for at least another fucking Two Years, because they're going to start letting people back out in A Few Weeks and they'll give us enough time to stretch your legs. Get a little bit of fucking in, drinking, in fight a little bit, have a big party and then someone will cough and we'll be back in isolation. And then standup will just be autistic comedians performing to autistic people on their screens.
