the Stand appears to be confirming my forthcoming reporting that it hosted a live indoor podcast recording last night, even though New York currently prohibits live comedy indoors or outdoors https://twitter.com/thestandnyc/status/1316173160606167040

this is the current guidance, which a health department spokesperson directed me to earlier today when I inquired about indoor podcast recordings https://sla.ny.gov/phase3-guidelines-for-on-premises-licenses

last month the Stand joined a coalition of clubs asking the state government to allow live comedy, arguing that so long as it was illegal, unsafe "speakeasy culture" would thrive in its place
