Graham Linehan: Second venue cancels Father Ted writer's comedy show
A second Edinburgh venue has cancelled a stand-up comedy show featuring Father Ted writer Graham Linehan , according to organisers.
Hours before the gig was due to begin, Comedy Unleashed said it would still go ahead despite the new cancellation.
They said ticket holders had been emailed with another location.
The original venue, Leith Arches, pulled out of hosting The Show amid concern about Mr Linehan's views on transgender issues.
He has threatened legal action if The Venue refuses to reverse its decision and apologise.
It has sparked a wider debate On Freedom of speech.
It is not clear where the stand-up show, which features four other acts under The Banner " edgy comedy is back" will be held.
In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, Comedy Unleashed said: " Our replacement venue has cancelled on us too, but we're Still Going ahead tonight at 7. 30!
" Ticket holders have been emailed with the new location. "
