Fans of Russell Howard have failed to see the funny side after the comic rescheduled two upcoming sold-out shows in Wales for the fourth time. Ticket holders were informed last week that the popular stand-up had once again bumped back his dates at Aberystwyth Arts Centre this week until the end of August due to "personal reasons."
The gigs had originally been meant to take place in September 2020 with some punters claiming they'd first bought tickets to see Howard at the venue as far back as October 2019. But since then the event has been rebooked for June 2021, February 2022 and, most recently, April 11 and 12 this year. Covid was blamed for the first change, while "unforeseen circumstances" was apparently cited for the others.
To make matters worse, all the other dates on the Bath-born funnyman's current UK jaunt - which recently saw him stop off in both Swansea and Cardiff - appear to be going ahead as normal. All of which has left left the punters in Aberystwyth demanding an explanation for the repeated no-shows in their town.
