He started touring for the special in January 2020. Fortunately, he managed to do 22 live shows, after which the U.S government declared a state of emergency. Right before the lockdown, he took to the stage one last time. This performance was recorded and renamed Thanks For Risking Your Life.
This stand-up special, which was filmed before the pandemic, was released in October 2020.

Starting August 2021, he has various shows scheduled in cities such as Stamford, CT, Greensburg, PA, Denver, CO, Redding, CA, Reno, NV, and Turlock, CA.
