Comedian and performer Ruby Wax cancels a planned run of live shows in the UK later this year. Wax says she is “incredibly sorry” and that it is “no longer possible” for her to go ahead with the scheduled dates.

Both outlets report that Wax attributes the decision to factors outside her control. While the articles do not detail the specific reasons, they indicate that the cancellations affect multiple UK cities planned for later in the year. The Independent frames the announcement around Wax’s apology to audiences, while the Belfast Telegraph highlights her description of the decision as driven by “circumstances outside of my control.”

Neither source provides additional context about whether the shows will be rescheduled or how ticket holders will be handled. The reporting focuses on the cancellation notice itself rather than elaborating on the underlying cause.
