‘The Beta Show’ is for testing new jokes – hence the name! This weekly stand-up comedy pro-am open mic gives comics a chance to perform 5-or-so minutes to develop their stagecraft, giving audiences a free ride of unpredictable ups and downs, all in immersive virtual reality.
While anyone can take the stage, ‘Beta’ serves as the means of graduation from the ‘Joke Club‘ comedy class it immediately follows, an essential part of the journey for any new comic in VR.
New comics who have proven their ability to grow and hold an audience’s interest and looking for a new kind of comedy challenge are selectively given the opportunity to host this show and develop their ability to manage a production.
