A British couple tried to use "events in Russia and Ukraine " as a reason to get a refund for not attending a comedy show in Blackpool.
Staff at Comedy Station Comedy Club in Blackpool, Lancs said they couldn't believe it when the pair attempted to use the fatal conflict 1,300 miles away as a reason for cancelling.
The wife of the disgruntled pair had emailed the club claiming it was "too dangerous" for them to travel from Hull to Blackpool for the show on Saturday, reports Hull Live.
