Lewis Black: Thanks For Risking Your Life (2020)
Overview
Lewis Black, heir to the George Carlin throne of the comedy rant, performed this set just days after the rest of America shut down (the show was allowed to go on because it was in a sovereign Native American venue), so his commentary covers our current Corona-induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over The-Orange-One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Jason Byrne's Lost Tapes
During Lockdown, Jason Byrne discovered a live recording he had made in 2016 at Vicar St in Dublin. It was professionally recorded and upon delivery the hard drives had been mislaid.

It's also a fine reminder of what life was like before the pandemic. The show contains scenes of hugging, kissing, high fiving, dry riding, casual exchange of bodily fluids and a 1000 people packed into a room laughing their hoops off.
