“Nore Davis proves that Zoom comedy shows can be effective” -Vanyaland

​

 

Nore Davis’ 2020 Grammy®-nomination-hopeful full-length comedy album, Live from the Comedy Trap House is currently out on Blonde Medicine. This new hour of comedy was written during the pandemic shutdown and recorded on May 29, 2020 on Zoom, in the midst of worldwide protests and covid-19-torn NYC. Nore Davis felt called to capture the moment and make something in the midst of these extraordinary phenomena. 

​

Nore Davis wanted to make something to save his mental and physical health, and to bring a bit of joy to people around the world. Between a challenging relationship that just ended, the alarming number of people dying from COVID-19 in New York City, and the continuing systematic oppression and unjustifiable killing of black people, Davis needed to express himself and figured we all could use a couple of laughs. Said Davis, “the material I was performing felt ready and I didn't want to wait to perform it for people once comedy clubs opened back up in like 2021?! Who knows?! By that time, I'll be performing jokes about how aliens are getting more "human" rights than black people!”

​

After the murder of George Floyd by four law enforcement officers (which is just one of many in recent U.S. history) spurred impassioned protests across the entire world, Nore came to some conclusions: “The social climate of America is always changing. We are currently in the beginning of finally addressing racism head on in our own country, which I'm thrilled about and was well overdue. The world finally recognizes black lives matter, baby!”

​

The Comedy Trap House is a recurring Zoom stand-up show founded by Nore Davis at the onset of the pandemic lock-down in March. With in-person events prohibited, he opened the digital space to connect with friends, fans and other comedians in isolation. Said Nore:

“I hope this album gives people permission to laugh and reminds them how we got to this point. We went from a killer pandemic, locked away in quarantine like inmates to witnessing black people being murdered by the police and rising up against it, all in three months! So just like white people who are always conquering something, I declare July 3rd My Independence Day. On this day, we will be reminded to laugh and allow ourselves to experience joy for 51 minutes. Once you finish the album, let's get back to work by continuing the fight to destroy racism in our own country! Love, Laugh and Live.”
