As COVID-19 shuttered businesses around the country, people everywhere were out of work. Those in the service and hospitality industry were hit especially hard, something comedian Mike Birbiglia realized on his way home from a cancelled appearance in upstate New York. Mike, along with comedian friends like John Mulaney, Roy Moore Jr and Sarah Silverman responded by testing out new material on Instagram Live to raise money for the staffs of comedy clubs around the country.
