I actually just attended a remote standup comedy show last Friday. Its tough for the comedian but it can work if:
1. The audience is encouraged to turn on video (so the comedian and others can see them) Unmuted if possible (but most wont its like giving everyone in the audience a live mic)
2. For those not willing, encourage them to use chat. Emoji, me-too, reactions
3. The comedian should keep bringing the audience in. Read off chat, talk about people with cameras on, etc
4. Dont just use your regular material, lean into the current situation, use the audience and tech.
