Eight first-time comedians take The Making-Box stage
The Making-Box continued to ring in the new year this weekend with First Timers, where eight first-time stand-up comedians took a crack at performing in front of a sold-out crowd. Host Zoë Barrett-Wood made the show flow seamlessly, but the real stars were the brave comedians doing stand-up before a live audience for the first time.
We had just one question for them: What was it like?

Rob Mitchell: Oddly comfortable — prior to performing is nerve-racking, but an excellent environment.
