Lockdown is no barrel of laughs for Stoke Newington comedy club

It sounds like the lockdown has posed significant challenges for the Stoke Newington comedy club, like many venues that rely on live performances for their livelihood. Comedy thrives on audience interaction and the shared experience of laughter, both of which are hard to achieve during this time. It must be tough for the comedians and staff who depend on the club for their craft and income. Hopefully, they can find innovative ways to adapt—perhaps through virtual performances or outdoor shows once restrictions allow. It’s a difficult time, but I believe the resilience and creativity of the comedy community can find a way through!
