After a year of shutdowns and isolation, people are looking for ways to be entertained again. With widespread access to the COVID-19 vaccine now assured, the Gainesville community may be feeling more hopeful than ever about returning to their favorite entertainment venues. But with coronavirus cases still on the rise, there is still a need for COVID-safe diversions.
Enter Jennifer Vito, who hosts Gainesville Comedy Shows every Thursday night at Flaco’s Cuban Bakery outdoor patio space in downtown Gainesville.
Each week, Vito gathers comedians from the community as well as touring comedians from nearby cities like Jacksonville and Orlando, and calls them up to perform one by one.
