A popular stand-up comic coming to Belleville’s Empire Theatre has postponed his Canadian tour.

Just for Laughs Comedy Network has announced the John Pinette performance – scheduled for this Thursday in Belleville – will be postponed due to illness. Pinette is said to be sick with bronchitis and exhaustion.

The Belleville show has been sold-out for weeks.

Ticket holders are advised their seats will be honoured once the new date is announced later this week.
