Joanna Cherry banned
The Stand is owned / partly owned by Tommy Sheppard who is an SNP MP.
An event featuring a prominent MP who has been outspoken in the bitter debate about trans rights has been cancelled by the Edinburgh Fringe’s biggest comedy club.
Joanna Cherry was due to take part in an “In conversation with . . . ” discussion at The Stand’s New Town Theatre during the summer.
But she has been “no platformed” after staff at the venue, including management and box office personnel, said they would not be comfortable working at the show.
