The show, An Audience With David Walliams, promised fans “an unforgettable evening of laughter and storytelling”.

But the remaining dates, at The University of Exeter on March 24 and Cadogan Hall in London on March 25, have been scrapped.

Sources said that poor ticket sales were behind the decision.

In February, just 340 tickets had been sold for the Exeter venue, which can seat 1,000.
