Did you hear the one about the stand-up comedian who had no audience for his jokes?
A tough crowd would have been a welcome relief for a comedian who was forced to cancel a show after nobody turned up.
With not even a drunken heckler in sight, award-winning comedian Vaughan King's show at Auckland's The Classic Studio was called off on Thursday night.
His show is part of the International Comedy Festival running this month - and organisers say King was just unlucky with a late-night show, which isn't a reflection of the rest of the festival.
The Herald understands ticket sales have been low across King's Busy Living shows, which have run from Wednesday until tonight.
