Gutted and terrified that so many promoters are saying they’re stopping doing any online gigs. Was hoping at least a few would continue after this as it would be helpful to comics like me with health problems.

“Back to normal” is terrifying because I hated that I was always either working or recovering from work, lonely and had no social life. This last 15 months I’ve reconnected with friends and been able to organise social activities, even if that’s just a 3 hour facetime call

Everyone going on like being excited to be back where we were is exactly what everyone’s feeling and wants has been so alienating these last few weeks. I wasn’t coping, I have been coping for 15 months and I don’t want to go back to not coping.

But apparently that’s me being selfish and “never wanting lockdown to end” I do want it to end, I want the disease gone, and when it is I’ll feel safer, what I want is the adaptations we made for ableds during the pandemic to continue afterwards.

Fortunately I adopted Twitch (possibly a little late in the pandemic) but the shows I’m doing and the money I’m making is putting me in a position where I have decided that for the rest of the year I’ll not be doing live comedy gigs more often than 3 days every other week.
