Comedian and actor Isy Suttie has been forced to cancel her remaining UK dates for her tour The Actual One due to illness. The tour accompanies her recently published memoirs, also called The Actual One.

Isy said in a statement: “With a heavy heart, I’m so sorry to have to cancel this show but due to illness I have decided to cancel the rest of my autumn tour to allow myself to recover from an ongoing problem.

“I haven’t taken this decision lightly and am truly sorry to disappoint in any way. I hope to see you in the new year.”

Isy, who is perhaps best known for playing Dobby in Peep Show was originally going to end her tour with a hometown gig at the Buxton Arts Centre on 1st October. However the venue has stated: “Due to a recent illness, Isy Suttie has been cancelled. We wish her a speedy recovery.” Fans who had bought tickets have been informed that the venues will be in touch.

We hope you recover soon Isy!
