In this April 20, 2020 photo, a pedestrian walks underneath a marquee advertising a "Laughter is Healing" stand-up comedy livestream event at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.
Haddish was performing at the venerable Los Angeles club the Laugh Factory, where she got her start as part of a kidsā comedy camp more than 20 years ago.
With comedy clubs from California to New York dark due to social-distancing mandates, comedians are finding ways to keep bringing the laughs to the public.
As to what's the attraction ā the comics are being paid little to nothing ā most echo the words of Haddish.
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada started streaming live comedy shows Monday through Friday afternoons shortly after California ordered all non-essential businesses closed.
