今天维州州长发话了：墨尔本将取消5公里这个外出距离的限制了，希望大家的工作和生活也快快回到正常的轨道上，更加希望单口喜剧场子也尽快开放营业。
这八个月的隔离，真的是一言难尽。不过我也苦中作乐，利用这段时间采访了15位散居在世界各地的单口相声演员，通过2020共建战友情。
这一季以在墨尔本的中国单口相声演员Sean的采访开始，以在上海的中国单口相声演员Lee的采访结束，也算是给第一季画下一个圆满的句号，给自己留下一个美好的回忆。
2020虽然很糟心，但是只要希望还在，总还是有动力的。
In this last episode, I interviewed a Chinese stand-up comic Lee Yi, who performs in both Chinese and English in Shanghai. It is intriguing to know his comedy journey and his struggles as a comedian in China. The audio is in mandarin Chinese.

My first impression of Eric, a handsome tall Canadian comedian and it is turned out Eric is a "typical" super-friendly handsome tall Canadian who teaches English in Beijing and is addicted to stand-up comedy like most of us. Summed up in my words, Eric is a FUCKING awesome comic and human being. Even though I only shared limited amount of days with Beijing comedy circle, I got tremendous help and camaraderie lookout from him.
If you want to know more about his comedy in Beijing, China. Please go ahead and listen to this interview with him! You can also follow him on Instagram @ericselley for the latest updates.
