An Edinburgh comedy club has issued an unreserved apology to an SNP MP for cancelling her show over her views on trans rights. In a statement, the Stand admitted the decision amounted to “unlawful discrimination” against Joanna Cherry.
The event will now go ahead. Cherry said: "It's a very welcome move by The stand and I accept their apology, and I'm looking forward to taking part in the event."
Management at the Edinburgh venue cancelled the 'In Conversation' show earlier this month after staff said they did not want to work at an event featuring Cherry.
