Leith Arches announced it was scrapping a show on Thursday evening after learning that Linehan would be the special guest.

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has said he will consider legal action if a decision to cancel a comedy show he was scheduled to appear in at the Edinburgh Fringe is not reversed.

“The only good thing about it is that it’s drawing more attention to the fact that, essentially, a group of highly ideological cultists have taken over institutions across society.“If they apologise and put the gig on, I’ll say no more about it but otherwise I’ll be looking at legal action.” Earlier this year, SNP MP Joanna Cherry threatened to sue The Stand comedy club after it cancelled the Edinburgh Festival Fringe show she was set to appear in because of her views on trans rights.
