Comedy club cracks down on Frankie Boyle touts

THE Stand Comedy Club has launched "an identify and cancel" policy in a bid to curb ticket touting.

Comedian Frankie Boyle's "work in progress" shows at the club this month offer fans a preview of his new material, and tickets are priced 7 and 5.

The low prices are a deliberate move by the Stand to reward its regular customers, but some touts are asking for 100 per ticket online, and as a result furious managers at the Stand have launched their strict policy.
