British-Iranian actor Omid Djalili was due to perform at the Festival Drayton Centre in Market Drayton tonight at 8pm.
However, a statement released on social media today by the Centre, revealed that 58-year-old had cancelled the performance due to "increased personal threats" due to the Israel-Hamas war.
The show has been removed from both the theatre's and comedian's websites.
