We’ve had brilliant art created during lockdown – including ITV’s Isolation Stories directed via Zoom and starring Sheridan Smith – but now it’s easing, what’s next? Not surprisingly people are nervous about returning to work.

In an interview this week, Amy Schumer said she’s not going back to stand-up until she’s sure it’s safe to do so.

“Are we going to open it up and people are going to wear bandannas over their mouths so you can’t even hear a laugh? You need masks with good acoustics,” she said.
