Father Ted writer Graham Linehan broke down as he delivered a street performance after being cancelled by two venues over his gender critical views.
He performed outside Holyrood last night after a second venue also cancelled his comedy performance - amid outrage after the initial planned venue also axed the show.“The time they were able to hurt me was when I was still married. When they were coming after my family, that was when it was painful, horrible and unpleasant. I had to go on anxiety medication.
His show was cancelled by Leith Arches, with the venue saying his views do not ‘align’ with their values. “So @Glinner [Graham Linehan] and the other acts will do the gig on a small stage outside the Scottish parliament at Holyrood at 7:30pm.One fan of Linehan said: “It's pathetic, it's censorship. Frankie Boyle was here, was disgusting, but we wouldn't want him cancelled. It's so embarrassing, the Edinburgh Fringe used to push the boundaries and be edgy and now it's not. “I’ll be boycotting the Edinburgh Fringe from now on.
