BRIDGEPORT Next weekend roughly around the time the state marks a year since the COVID-19 pandemic struck comedian Vinnie Brand is scheduled to perform at his downtown Stress Factory club/restaurant for a few nights.
The stand-up funny man’s business was shuttered for five months because of the health crisis, re-opening last August. Brand has been able to continue to draw live acts and an audience while operating under the strict crowd limitations and other health guidelines required by Gov. Ned Lamont.
