When it was rediscovered we immediately set about editing and finishing the show. And the final product is a wonderful example of the "Outright King of Live Comedy" on top of his game. It's also a fine reminder of what life was like before the pandemic. The show contains scenes of hugging, kissing, high fiving, dry riding, casual exchange of bodily fluids and a 1000 people packed into a room laughing their hoops off.
