Overview
- Walliams performed two storytelling gigs on 17 January at the 50-seat Circle & Star Theatre above the Horseshoe pub in Hampstead, billed as fundraising events with an afternoon family matinee.
- The Daily Mail reported an audience of about 48 as the comedian returned to a small local stage near his north London home.
- HarperCollins confirmed in December that it has decided not to publish any new titles by Walliams.
- The Telegraph reported allegations of inappropriate behaviour toward young female staff, with former employees saying they were advised to meet him in pairs and avoid his home.
- A spokesperson said Walliams was never informed of any complaint, strongly denies wrongdoing, and is taking legal advice, as industry listings show no immediate TV work and note two remaining tour dates in March.
