By way of experiment, as much as anything, the Socks just did a short free tryout gig on Facebook this lunchtime (Friday 13th). If it's still there, you'll find it here.
We gave them I'm A Sock, the What Kind Of..? Covid song, and 4 Horsemen, with a short Hitchcock routine (from Hallo Ian), Shall I Compare Thee (from Shakespeare) and other gags loosely strung together. It was just 20 minutes long, and served to show that I can stream live from Zoom to Facebook, and pick up viewers with just 45 minutes advance warning. My thought is that, perhaps, occasional short free gigs can serve to build publicity for our main paying gigs.
We got a few comments:

Okay, now I read the 42 comments and realise they came from the same half dozen people, maybe I had been a little overexcited about the sudden size of our audience. Still, from little acorns...
