The Fox Theatre, which was scheduled to hold the show on June 22, is offering refunds to ticket holders.
“After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta. I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there,” Haddish said in a statement. Representatives for the comedian did not immediately respond to a request from TheWrap for further comment.
