Tiernan's tour of Canada cancelled

Comedian Tommy Tiernan has been dropped from a major tour of Canada following the highly controversial remarks he made about Jews and the Holocaust at Electric Picnic. Tiernan was to be part of the Just for Laughs tour from October 28th to November 15th.
The tour’s organisers said it was in everyone’s best interest that the comedian should withdraw from the tour. Tiernan made the comments in an open session interview with Hot Press writer Olaf Tyaransen.
