Comedy Quarantine has been dutifully and faithfully delivering stand-up comedy via Instagram Live (in a pretty slick way, we might add) for almost every week of lockdown/quarantine/this damn pandemic. The team of Barbara Gray, Teresa Lee, Dominque Gelin, and Sam Varela have connected the best comedians from around the country and the world to stay connected to everyone else and work on material within their own home or wherever they happen to be at the time (Teresa went live from a protest in DTLA) longer than any other comedy live-stream that we have known about this year.

On top of that, they have been taking donations to not only support the comedians on their line-up, but have raised plenty of $$$ for great organizations such as Ground Game LA or The Okra Project.

So, this week will be their last week and, as they have done throughout the duration of the pandemic, they’ve got stacked line-ups that are very, very much tuning into on IG Live for (as you can see above).

If you weren’t already checking them out, please check @ComedyQuarantine out for their final shows this Wed., Thurs., and Fri. at 7PM PT/10PM ET.

Even before all the events that took place over the past following week in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Ziwe Fumudoh‘s weekly IG Live show Baited was already a great, hysterical one-on-one conversations on engagement on race with white ally comedians.

Thus, it’s even more critical viewing that you’d should make part of your Thursday afternoons/evenings right now.

Baited with Ziwe goes live on Instagram every Thursday at 5PM PT/8PM ET @ziwef. This next week’s guests are some damn funny white allies: Cole Escola (At Home with Amy Sedaris, Difficult People) and Brad Evans (SNL).

Pick of the Day: Ga’riffs with Gareth Reynolds (Thursdays)

Through his own stand-up and his fantastic presence in the podcasting world, especially on The Dollop, Gareth Reynolds has gained quite the reputation for being hysterical off-the-cuff and a master at the comedic art of riffing.

So, in this time where we’re all just stuck at home, Gareth is both putting his expert skills to use and giving us a break from all of what’s going on with Ga’riffs with Gareth Reynolds. Gareth takes suggestions for topics at gariffslive@gmail.com and then riffs on them one by one WHILE actually standing up with a mic and a mic stand in front of a curtain. Almost effortlessly, he mows through topics with great in-the-moment bits, stories, etc.

Reynolds is nice enough to live-stream Ga’riffs this every Thursday on Instagram Live @reynoldsgareth at 6PM PT/9PM ET and you should absolutely make it a part of a weekly routine if you haven’t done so already.
