UPDATE APRIL 20:
Illness has forced a Canadian comic to cancel his upcoming performances.
Derek Edwards was slated to perform in Vernon and Kelowna April 24 and 25, but is postponing the show.
Promoter Terry McRae said it is not COVID, but something else to do with his lungs, which has made Edwards very ill.
The Vernon Performing Arts Centre show has been moved to Sept. 8, followed by Sept. 9 at the Kelowna Community Theatre.
Refunds will also be offered as necessary.
