Tickets to see Jo Brand at Colchester Arts Centre sold out in a matter of hours.
Despite it being a last-minute addition to her current UK tour, and there being very little publicity about it, Jo's Colchester date on June 9 was quick to sell out.
Tickets went on sale at 10.30am yesterday morning, but by 2pm all of the venue's allocation had gone.
A spokesman for the Arts Centre said the agency running the tour had kept some tickets back, and that sometimes they get released to the public before the show.
He added: "It was the busiest the phones have been here in a long time.
"We're running a waiting list at the moment for returns, and if any more tickets get released and if people want to be added they should call the main box office on 01206 500900."
