91裸聊视频淚 write all of my material on stage, just sort of go up with an idea and work it out in front of crowds. I91裸聊视频檝e always done it that way but needless to say the pandemic made stage time scarce and working new material difficult,91裸聊视频� King said.

Now I can tour again, I91裸聊视频檓 really looking forward to honing new material and getting ready to tape the next special. It91裸聊视频檚 a fun process and I91裸聊视频檓 so glad I91裸聊视频檓 able to get back out there, get to work and share that journey with audiences.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淔or the second OK, DOPE Stand-up Comedy Tour I really wanted to come out swinging and bring out the best comedians I could think of. I swung for the fences and was lucky enough to hit a home run with Simon King,91裸聊视频� Park said. 91裸聊视频淔rom the very inception of this tour, my goal was to bring the best comedy possible to the parts of B.C. that don91裸聊视频檛 normally see this kind of calibre of comedy and Simon91裸聊视频檚 as good as it can get.
91裸聊视频淭hen when Matt Baker joined the tour made me think to myself, 91裸聊视频榊ou couldn91裸聊视频檛 ask for a better evening of comedy.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�
