AS THE route out of lockdown takes another step forward this week, those in the events and performing industries are still waiting patiently for their chance to shine. When coronavirus swept across the UK last year, music, theatre and stand-up comedy tours were brought to a standstill. Some in these fields were able to resume their passions over the summer months, albeit in a rather different environment, in 2020 when restrictions eased before winter arrived and they were plunged back into months of uncertainty. The lockdown easing in May is set to see outdoor performances resume and Adrienne Coles, founder of Bournemouth-based Coastal Comedy, is counting down the days until she can be back on stage.
