Like many comics earlier this year, Leah Lamarr had a problem: The stand-up comedy world was on life support, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic closing down clubs and keeping performers off stage. This was bad news not only for comedians, who depend on the art form to make a living, but also for comedy-lovers who have been unable to get their fix live for nearly a year.
“I’m a comic, I love to perform,” Lamarr recently told TheWrap. “And people need comedy as a relief.”
That’s why, at the start of 2021, she decided to take a shot and see if Clubhouse, her new favorite app, could help ease the pain.
