The comedy club which cancelled a Fringe show by SNP MP Joanna Cherry has reinstated the event.
The Stand had cancelled the show after staff said they were not comfortable with her views on transgender issues.
But the venue has now said the decision was “unfair and constituted unlawful discrimination against Ms Cherry”.
Ms Cherry said it was a “very welcome move by The Stand” and confirmed she will take part in August’s event as originally planned.
She did.

Joanna Cherry gets the last laugh?
But who will open the doors, sell the tickets, and usher patrons to their seats? It seems like the ideal time to invest in “emotional support (insert favourite animal here)”, lots of squishy and cuddly toys, and portable safe rooms.
I also imagine there will be a huge spike in the number of suicides now the Unicorn Mafia have found the law applies equally to all.
Maybe they should invest in an emotional support echidna.
