I’m very sad to have to announce that I will be cancelling the Glasgow date of my UK tour. I have been informed that The Stand has programmed “An Evening With Joanna Cherry” during the Edinburgh fringe and I feel strongly that it’s inappropriate of me to perform at a venue promoting someone who has dedicated the last few years of their public life to trying to exclude people like me from public life. I feel I also have a duty to my fans and my community not to ask them to help fund their own oppression. I have always enjoyed playing Glasgow and playing The Stand has been a huge part of making me who I am as a comedian, so this is not a choice I make lightly and wish it wasn’t a choice I had to make at all. - Bethany Black
