US comedian Ruby Wax has cancelled a string of live shows due to “circumstances outside of my control”.
The 73-year-old said her upcoming An Evening With Ruby Wax tour shows in Sheffield, Durham, Edinburgh and Kidderminster will no longer be going ahead.
In a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, Wax said she was “incredibly sorry” and added: “We’ve done everything we can behind the scenes to try and find a way forward, but sadly this is no longer possible.
She added: “I know this will be hugely disappointing for those of you who have booked tickets, particularly if you’ve already made plans around the shows, and I’m truly sorry.
“I had been very much looking forward to seeing you, and I’m disappointed that we won’t get to share these evenings together.”
Wax reassured fans her shows as part of her Absolutely Famous tour will not be affected and she is “really looking forward to getting back out on the road”.
“Thank you for your understanding, patience and the support you continue to show me.
“I really hope to see many of you at an ‘Absolutely Famous’ show soon.”
Ticketholders affected by the cancellations can contact the ticket provider of the promoter X Fire Live with questions about refunds.
Wax was a contestant on the 2025 ITV reality series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
