Michael McIntyre has been forced to cancel a second date of his stand-up tour after undergoing emergency surgery.
The comedian, 48, announced on Sunday that his Southampton show at the Mayflower Theatre would not go ahead on Monday.
This marks his second rescheduled show of his Macnificent World Tour following a night in Plymouth also being missed by McIntyre last week.
Taking to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, a statement shared on his account read: “We regret to inform customers that Michael McIntyre will be unable to perform on Monday 4 March at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton.

“Unfortunately, Michael has had an operation to remove kidney stones.
“The show will be rescheduled to a later date which will be announced shortly. Tickets will remain valid for the new date. If you are unable to make the new date you will be entitled to a refund.
“We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
This follows another post in which his account said, due to “illness”, he would not perform at Plymouth Pavilions on Thursday.
