Harith’s comedy show cancelled by Dewan Filharmonik

Dewan Filharmonik Petronas has cancelled a stand-up comedy show by comedian Harith Iskander scheduled for tomorrow night. No explanation was given in an announcement by the concert hall.

The concert hall apologised to concertgoers and said ticket holders may exchange their tickets for another concert at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas or the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra this season.

They may also request a refund, made through the original payment method used. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made no later than Feb 8, it said.

Harith was the subject of a police investigation for a satirical post on the use of the word “ham” following controversy over the halal status of sandwiches sold at a convenience store in Universiti Malaya.
