A total of four shows have been cancelled including last weekend's performances at Buxton Opera House and Royal Albert Hall and the upcoming show on Sunday November 28 at Kendal Leisure Centre.

The show, 'Grayson Perry: A Show for Normal People', was described as an evening of "worthiness and silliness" with Mr Perry expected to ask big questions around the meaning of life and why it all matters.
