As the WGA nears the third month of the writers strike, one section of entertainment remains thriving amid the work stoppage: stand-up comedy.
Since stand-up — assuming it’s not being recorded for a special or other studio content — is not connected to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, it’s not restricted by the strike’s guild rules, and therefore has seen a surge of writers turning to the stage to either make money or scratch a creative itch. Regulars (and WGA members) like Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Brett Goldstein, Fred Armisen and Sarah Silverman have all been doing gigs during the strike, as well as stars who less frequently do live shows like Quinta Brunson, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Ted Lasso‘s Phil Dunster. Many late night TV writers also decided to pursue stand-up after their shows went dark starting May 2.
