J.C. Anderson, a comedy promoter and performer at Friday's show, said he was unsure of how to do his first live show in months. He described how many comedians who were able to build a career in comedy have had to fall back on unemployment checks and finding new jobs during the pandemic. "We all have at least 20 years experience for each of us, the hardest part of it is we haven't been doing anything for five months. "Of course we'll make jokes about it, but do people really want to hear about the pandemic or do they want to hear comedy?" REOPENINGCharles Smith, owner of the Orpheum, said the venue realizes there is a long road ahead of them.
