TV comic comes to rescue as Tom Stade has to pull out of Ludlow event
Tom Stade, one of the headlining comedians at Ludlow Fringe's mini-comedy festival next week, has pulled out at the last minute – but within 24 hours has been replaced with another TV comic.
Justin Moorhouse has now been announced to perform a preview of his up-coming Edinburgh Fringe show on June 25, in the place of Canadian comedian Tom Stade.
Stade, a veteran of shows such as Live at the Apollo, The Comedy Store, Mock the Week, and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, had to cancel his appearance for family reasons, it has been revealed.
But Moorhouse, who has appeared on many of the same shows, as well as in Coronation Street and Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, has agreed to step in to fill the gap.
The Ludlow Fringe week of comedy launches on Saturday.
