Comedian John Bishop won't be performing on stage in Dublin this week as he has taken compassionate leave.
The Liverpool native was cast to play the role of Vic Goose in the hit play Mother Goose in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin, but he is now being replaced by his understudy, Gabriel Fleary. In a statement on Monday, the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre confirmed that Bishop is unable to appear in the production this week.
They said: “We regret to announce that John Bishop is unable to appear in this week’s run of Mother Goose at Dublin’s Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. Mr Bishop has taken compassionate leave from the show.
