Laughing Through The Pandemic with Ben Gleib

When the nation was shut down due to the coronavirus, people in all professions were impacted. Hit especially hard were up-and-coming performers, including musicians, actors, dancers, and comedians. Ben Gleib, a comedian and former Presidential Candidate, found a way to bring live comedy back to audiences, providing work for performers and much-needed laughter to people around the world. His Social Distancing Social Club and Nowhere Comedy Club are essential business in my view, and we’re so happy to have him on the show.
