Leeds City Varieties has released a statement following the shock evacuation of comedian Paul Chowdhry's show amid fears of a 'gas leak'.
The city centre venue in Swan Street, off Briggate, was evacuated at 8.30pm last night (January 23) just after the comedian finished his first half-hour set. Audience members were ushered out of the building and told to stand in Briggate, at a safe distance away from the venue.
Audience members commented that it was "ridiculous", specifically as this was the comedian's third rescheduled date for the show with the gig initially advertised for April last year. Paul has since released a statement, stating how "gutted" he feels about the show's cancellation and suggested he will be returning for a fourth rescheduled date.
