After being cancelled by two venues, Comedy Unleashed said it would 'do the gig on a small stage outside the Scottish parliament'.
In an interview with TalkTV on Wednesday, he told The Julia Hartley-Brewer Breakfast Show:"I actually would suggest that the Leith Arches reverse its course because they've said enough online for an easy win in the courts.
"So, if they apologise and put the gig on, I'll say no more about it. But otherwise, I am going to be looking at legal action." In a statement to Sky News, Leith Arches said the show would have a"negative effect on future bookings" and was"not a good fit" for the venue."We work very closely with the LGBT+ community - it is a considerable part of our revenue. We believe hosting this one-off event would have a negative effect on future bookings.
"The comedy industry is in a dire state. It's about time that promoters, venues, comedy critics and comedians made a concerted effort to support free expression in the arts."
