All Hallow's Election Eve Performed over Zoom 29 October 2020

I’ll be offering a Zoom Visual Comedy Class as part of the Palm Springs International Comedy Festival (https://www.psicf.org), on Sunday, 10/18/20, 1:00-2:00 PM PDT (4:00-7:00 PM EDT).

You can find the registration link at https://www.psicf.org/shop; there is a $10 fee for the class.

Class Description: With Zoom’s Virtual Backgrounds, you can now deliver visual punchlines, like those seen on SNL’s Weekend Update and John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. This technology allows you to remain in the picture, building the visual comedy elements around your on-screen presence, without using Zoom’s Share Screen feature or the need for a streaming system such as OBS. And if your jokes are visual, Zoom’s audio problems won’t step on your punchlines!

On Thursday night, President & Mrs. Trump tested positive for Coronavirus and began their quarantine together at the White House. 24 hours later, the president was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center as a precautionary measure, after doctors noticed a deterioration in the First Lady’s sanity.

I went out to dinner with friends and their new baby. As soon as they sat down, she started breastfeeding. How rude! We hadn’t gotten OUR drinks yet!

The only impression I can do is a mime … on radio.

I’m not breaking the rules.

I’m just following different ones.

It seems that a necessary precursor to herd immunity is fattening the herd.

We Aim To Please

You never know what dietary habits will be foisted on you these days. So I always carry an emergency supply of gluten.

I hate when people text while driving. It distracts them from seeing me give them the finger.

I started a new job last month. I bike to work and take the bus home. My boss is upset with all the bikes piling up.

Disney has suggested that, after the pandemic, theme parks could screen visitors for all types of medical issues. I can see it now: Disney will test for dwarfism at “It’s A Small World” and for incontinence at “Splash Mountain”. Diabetes screenings will take place at Hershey Park, intestinal blocks will be cleared at Legoland, and gynecological issues will be handled at Busch Gardens.

I asked the waitress for a glass of water — no ice. I hate when my water gets diluted.

I have a modified DNR; it’s a DNRY — Do Not Resuscitate YET: If I’m in a coma, don’t even TRY to wake me till I’m down to 130 pounds.

I went through a bitter divorce. We had a bunch of ma*****na and fought over joint custody.

I’ll be performing in a FREE Laughing Buddha Showcase, Wednesday, May 20, 8PM (EDT) / 5PM (PDT).

If a tree gives advice and no one takes it … is it sound?

My doctor said I have Athlete’s Foot.

I thanked him for the compliment.

Whenever I pass a sandwich shop, my subconscious makes me stop in for a hoagie.

Parents are so fed up with QuaranTeaching, they’re looking for tips on how to flatten the learning curve.

After a fight, do boxers have make-up s*x?

I’ve been going through my old possessions and tried on my collection of watches from when I was a kid. I have a lot of extra time on my hands.

May I ask you another question?

Trump suggested bringing light inside the body to kill Coronavirus. Scientists are now testing the idea.

It’s May and I’m finally getting around to my New Year’s resolution: procrastinate more.

I’m depressed.
A friend told me: Just be yourself.
I said: That’s what got me in trouble in the first place!
