Since the closure, re-opening, and re-closing of comedy venues across the city due to COVID-19, we have all been treated to many online comedy shows throughout the year from Bad Dog TV to ReelAbilities Annual Comedy Night. Heck, even Because News expanded from their weekly CBC radio show to a national television format.
