While they wait for clubs to reopen, standups are returning to the stage in car parks, with audiences tuning in on the radio

In his new Netflix special, US standup Dave Chappelle reflected on the drive-in comedy shows that have sprung up while clubs are closed during the pandemic. Audiences watching from cars and honking their horns if they liked a joke, didn’t “sound like any fun at all” to Chappelle. However, until the UK’s comedians are allowed to perform in venues again, drive-in outdoor gigs offer a way forward for an industry devastated by Covid-19.
