Like a lot of comedians, Erica Rhodes had big plans for 2020. She was coming off some network exposure on NBC’s comedy competition “Bring the Funny,” she’d released her first album, “Sad Lemon,” and she had a solid hour of material ready for her debut special, which she was set to record at the Tribeca Film Festival. But the COVID pandemic shut down most in-person shows, and the festival was postponed, along with her taping.
The Newton native could have waited for the pandemic to pass and recorded the special in a traditional venue, as planned. Instead, she wound up taping it at a drive-in show in the parking lot of the Rose Bowl last July.
