The Brighton Centre is to refund tickets for the Joan Rivers show which had been scheduled for Friday 10 October.
The refunds were promised after the 81-year-old comedienne died yesterday (Thursday 4 September).
She was due to appear in Brighton on her Before They Close the Lid Tour.
The Brighton Centre said: “Due to the sad passing of Joan Rivers on 4 September in New York, refunds for tickets to her scheduled show on the 10 October will be available from point of purchase.”
Rivers, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, made her name with her sharp and witty one-liners and putdowns and didn’t spare herself.
Among her lines were
- I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.
- Half of all marriages end in divorce – and then there are the really unhappy ones.
- Looking 50 is great – if you’re 60.
- A study says owning a dog makes you 10 years younger. My first thought was to rescue two more, but I don’t want to go through menopause again.
- You know you’re getting old when work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work.
- You know why I feel older? I went to buy sexy underwear and they automatically gift wrapped it.
- I hate housework. You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later, you have to start all over again.
- You know you’ve reached middle age when you’re cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of by the police.
- I bought a pedigree dog for $300. My friend said: “Give me $300 and I’ll shit on your carpet.”
- All I ever heard when I was a kid was: “Why can’t you be more like your cousin Sheila?” And Sheila had died at birth.
- Why women don’t blink during foreplay? Not enough time.
- The fashion magazines are suggesting that women wear clothes that are age appropriate. For me that would be a shroud.
