Second venue cancels Father Ted Writer Fringe appearance

A second venue has cancelled a performance during the Edinburgh Fringe by Graham Linehan, the Father Ted writer.

Comedy Unleashed has said they will hold their show at a third venue, with the details being kept secret until Thursday night’s show starts.

The only people who know where the show is being held are ticket holders who have reportedly been informed by email.

The first venue Leith Arches cancelled their booking of Linehan on Tuesday, saying his opinions did not “align” with their overall values.

Graham Linehan is a vocal critic of the trans rights movement.

Leith Arches said on Wednesday: “It was brought to our attention at the very last minute of the very controversial line-up."
