Comedian Michael McIntyre has cancelled the second of his third Work in Progress warm-up shows, which was due to take place at Swindon Arts Centre in Devizes Road tonight.

The centre said this morning that McIntyre, who lives at Compton Bassett, near Calne, was unwell.

A spokesman said that tickets for tonight's would be valid for any rescheduled date, which it is hoped will take place within the next month.

McIntyre scheduled the dates at the arts centre as part of his warm-up for a major tour in the summer and is said to particularly enjoy performing to Swindon audiences.
