Popular comedian actor and producer Ayo Makun better known as AY has issued a public apology after his ‘AY Live: Single and Not Searching’ UK tour stop in Cardiff was disrupted on Sunday October 25 2026.
The comedian was billed to perform at Valegate Retail Park but audience members said they waited for hours for a show that never started.
Attendees described a chaotic scene marked by prolonged delays confusion heated arguments and an eventual police presence at the venue with many ticket holders leaving without seeing any performance.
In a statement shared on his official social media pages on Monday AY said he and other comedians on the line-up travelled to Cardiff and were at the venue.
‘To everyone who bought tickets and came out to see us in Cardiff I sincerely apologise for the disappointment you experienced. Your time money and support deserve respect’ he wrote.
He attributed the delay to unresolved payment commitments explaining that by the time they sorted the issue and reached the venue most of the audience had already left.
‘You deserved a properly organised show and timely information. You should never have been caught in the middle of a payment dispute’ he added.
AY said he has explained the circumstances in detail in a video and urged the public to listen to the full account before drawing conclusions.
He also called on the organisers and his UK tour management to provide a clear resolution for affected ticket holders including information on refunds adding that verified updates would be shared via his official channels.
Despite the Cardiff incident AY confirmed that the remaining tour dates are still scheduled for Birmingham on October 30 London on October 31 and Manchester on November 1.
‘For over twenty years your support has helped build this brand. I value that trust and remain committed to honouring it’ he said.
