Comedian Bethany Van Delft on why Boston's comedy scene is 'hot' right now

Boston-based comedian Bethany Van Delft thinks the Boston comedy scene is having a moment.
Five years since the pandemic began, she reflects on how it has impacted the comedy industry today from sold-out shows to a fervent demand for standup over what she calls "weird" comedy.
Here are Van Delft's recommendations for a good laugh:
- Up-and-coming local comedian: Carolina Montesquieu
- A venue for a good show: Goofs Comedy Club in Somerville
- Comedy show producers: Men in Comedy and Don't Tell Comedy
