During the pandemic, Reese admitted to struggling through an "identity crisis," even developing a panic disorder. “I developed a panic disorder and started having seizures – just wasn’t taking care of myself so once I figured that out, got back on my feet and started this podcast, Zoom comedy and outdoor shows,” she said. Reese wasn’t alone in navigating this unprecedented reality. According to Emilio Savone, co-owner of the New York Comedy Club, the pandemic almost created a trending frontier for comedy. “There was this whole new comedy scene that bubbled up during the pandemic that has really learned how to produce their own stuff,” he shared with NBC New York.
