Jewish comedians due to perform at Edinburgh Fringe have had their shows cancelled due to bar staff having 'safety concerns'.
Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon were due to perform at the Whistlebinkies during the festival due to start next week.
Ms Creeger was going to stand on stage to perform her show, Ultimate Jewish Mother, while Mr Simon was due to host a Jew-O-Rama of Jewish comedic talents.
But the two have now claimed they were told their shows would be cancelled after staff raised concerns about feeling 'unsafe', the Telegraph reports.
It is claimed that the concerns were raised after an announcement that the venue would be given extra police supervision for worries over the safety of Jewish acts.
