AN AWARD-WINNING comedian who was due to start her tour in Haddington next month has been forced to cancel it as she undergoes treatment for cancer.

Janey Godley revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021 and was undergoing treatment.

She was given the all-clear the following year but a later scan showed signs of the disease again.

Her tour, Why Is She Still Here?, was due to take her across the country, beginning in Haddington’s Corn Exchange on October 11 and 12.

However, her management broke the sad news on Wednesday that the tour had been halted.

They said: “It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley’s autumn 2024 tour.

“Janey has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years and the treatment from the wonderful Scottish NHS has kept the disease at bay, but sadly in the last few weeks the cancer has returned and there have been a few added complications.

“Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop work for the foreseeable future.

“Janey is devastated to let down her thousands of loyal fans, and the wonderful venues she has played many times over the years.

“She would like to thank everyone for their love and support at this difficult time.

“Janey Godley was due to perform at Corn Exchange in Haddington on Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12.

“All bookers will be refunded for the cancellation of this show.”
