Jason Manford has offered people free tickets after a national ticketing company went bust.
M&B Promotions ceased trading earlier this month, forcing the cancellation of gigs up and down the country, including two meant to go ahead in Merseyside.
Shows forced to cancel after the Coventry-based firm went bust include UB40, Nish Kumar, McFly and some of John Bishop and Jason Manford's shows.

As well as those, a comedy show featuring high profile comics including Jason Manford and John Bishop has been cancelled. Comedy in the Park was meant to be coming to Southport's Victoria Park this summer after it was postponed twice last year.
M&B Promotions took to its official website to share the news of its closure, adding that all scheduled events had now been cancelled.
It added it is “deeply sorry” to those affected by the cancellations and thanked the artists and venues it had worked with over the years.
In the lengthy message online, M&B Promotions said: “It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that we must announce the cancellation of all of our scheduled events, and the end of operations for M&B Promotions Ltd and our ticket platform Simple Ticketing Ltd.
Following the news shows would be cancelled, it has also transpired people are struggling to get the money they are owed back.
Due to the company no longer trading, people are forced to claim the money back from their banks or from Paypal, causing issues for a number of people.
Some people vented their frustrations and difficulties in the comment section of Jason Manford's Instagram page, with people then being shocked when the comedian offered them tickets to other shows on his tour if they contacted his agent.
@kellyl6076 commented on one of his posts: "I had tickets to come and see you through easy ticketing at Sunderland was so excited but they have gone into liquidation and I can't transfer or get my money back. Gutted."
The Starstruck judge then replied: "If you’re having a ticket problem with one of my shows please email my agent Lisa@lisathomasmanagement.com and we’ll try and sort replacements for another show."
@jennie2255 also commented: "JASON PLEASE help sort out EASY TICKETS mess!!! People have lost hundreds of pounds booking your gigs!! Banks saying no refunds!! Absolute shambles!!!"
The comedian admitted the "mess" was much bigger than he can sort. He replied: "It’s a much bigger mess than I can sort but if you’re having ticket problems with one of my shows please email my agent Lisa@lisathomasmanagement.com and we’ll try and sort replacements for another show."
