Home Video: Your Kid Performing in Your Living Room at Christmas by Desi Domo, part of the rotating troupe of comedy performers at Characters Welcome NYC.

(Most of the performances are worth watching - they continue through the pandemic as remote call-ins - although the sound mix between the stage and audience during live shows sometimes varies wildly, so have a care if you're using headphones.)

A Medieval Floor Boy is great. Most of her stuff that I’ve seen is also great. I would give her a MacArthur Genius Grant if I could.

The underwear through the tights thing was dead on - every parent who has put their toddler in a dress has ended up seeing the skirt up and the underwear through the tights. Kids don't care.

I can’t believe they’re still putting out these videos were such terrible sound recording. The sound has been crummy for YEARS; many of their videos are basically unwatchable. This channel could be huge, a great platform for young performers looking to make a mark on the web, if only they’d invest a few hundred bucks in lapel mics and have someone actually mix the audio.

(And, like, are there microphones actually IN the audience for some reason!?)

So my comment isn’t completely grumpy, here’s a great Character Welcome sketch that’s good enough to ignore the atrocious sound quality: That Song In Every Musical Nobody Likes

This was fun but good god there is That One Laugh in the audience that had my full, intense attention haha. Fortunately I love a good bananas laugh but I definitely end up paying more attention to them than the performance.
