Graham Linehan, the creator of Father Ted and Black Books, performed outside the Scottish Parliament after two Edinburgh Fringe venues cancelled his show. The cancellations were due to Linehan's controversial views on transgender people. Leith Arches and a replacement venue both cancelled the show, citing concerns about Linehan's views and their impact on future bookings. Linehan threatened legal action against Leith Arches if they did not reinstate his gig. Comedy Unleashed, the organizers of the event, expressed disappointment that the show was cancelled due to online pressure and activists being offended.
