The Rotunda in Glasgow has postponed a drive-in comedy club after reaching a "sticking point" in discussions with the police and council.
This weekend, visitors to one of the sell-out events would have parked their car and listened to a comedian's performance using wireless audio.
Guests were asked to avoid leaving their vehicles except to use the toilet, with shows kept to just one hour in length to help people make sure they were not caught short.
But the event has now been put off following consideration of what constitutes "socially distanced outdoor recreation".
Organisers said they were "disappointed" but "always knew that we were sailing close to the wind".
They wrote: "Over the past week we have liaised and discussed our procedures extensively with representatives from Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council.
"On the whole, they have been positive and supportive, however there is one sticking point from yesterday’s relaxation of restrictions which is open to interpretation, what constitutes socially distanced outdoor recreation.
"Unfortunately it is felt more prudent and ultimately safer to take the decision to postpone until the next phase of lockdown easing."
We have written to Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
