Comedian Jenny Yang, dressed here as “a Karen,” introduces a Comedy Crossing show. Photo: Courtesy of Kathryn VanArendonk There is a place you can go every other week and watch live stand-up comedy where there’s no risk of catching COVID-19. You do not have to wear a mask. You can watch a group of comedians all in the same space, clapping and laughing for one another, and you can hear other members of the audience laughing at the jokes.
At the same time, while Yang began collecting items and modeling her virtual island after the L.A. she missed , she started participating in some of the comedy Zoom shows popping up to fill the void of live, in-person comedy. Yang started paying attention to what seemed to work and what didn’t in those shows. “There were a lot of Instagram Lives, a lot of variations [on the format],” she says.

If anything, the strange three-person puppeteering process only added to how funny the whole thing was.
