Veronica Lee, i Newspaper, 6th July 2020Review: UK's first drive-in comedy shows
It was a weary and frustrated Dom Joly (**) who left the stage after performing the first drive-in comedy show in the UK. Sadly it had been, as he said earlier, "the first car crash at a drive-in". At the later show, Daniel Sloss (***), with strong support from Kai Humphries, fared much better.

Who knew in the early days of his career, when Simon Amstell was taking the mick out of celebrities on Popworld and then Never Mind the Buzzcocks, that he would turn into one of the cleverest comics of his generation, with a special talent for making existential angst funny? And now the latest of his amusing navel-gazing stand-up shows is Set Free (recorded late last year).
