Graham Linehan, the creator of Father Ted and Black Books, performed outside the Scottish Parliament after two Edinburgh Fringe venues cancelled his show.

The comedy writer had a show at Leith Arches cancelled earlier this week over his outspoken views on transgender people.

Comedy Unleashed, the organisers of the event, moved its to another venue, but later said this had also been cancelled.

As a result, Linehan appeared outside Holyrood at roughly 7.30pm on Thursday.

Leith Arches took the decision to cancel the booking, saying that Linehan’s views did not “align” with its values.
