Russell Brand has postponed his remaining U.K. comedy shows following the publication of multiple sexual abuse allegations against him over the weekend.

Brand was accused of sexual and emotional abuse by four women in a joint investigation by the Times of London, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches. The comedian turned wellness influencer denied the allegations, saying that all of his relationships have been consensual.

His management announced that it would be suspending the end of his current “Bipolarisation” comedy tour in a statement Monday.

“We are postponing these few remaining addiction charity fundraiser shows, we don’t like doing it — but we know you’ll understand,” the statement said.

It’s unclear whether the dates will be rescheduled. Theatre Royal Windsor said it will be issuing refunds in line with the venue’s policies.
