COMEDIAN Freddie Starr has pulled out of his gig in Cwmbran tomorrow.

Manager at The Congress Theatre- where Mr Starr was due to perform- in Cwmbran, Martyn Redwood, said that the gig was “close to a sell-out”.

He said that the venue had been told that Mr Starr “is ill”.

He added: “We are in the process of trying to contact everyone that has booked tickets and of course everyone will get a full refund.

“We are asking people to come in from Tuesday onwards or call us for a refund onto a card.”
