Blackpool Comedy Club owner jokes he's 'bigger than Putin' after viral refund

A Blackpool Comedy Club has joked that they're the 'biggest conspiracy on the internet' involving Russia after a customers demand for a refund due to the Ukraine and Russia conflict was shared online last week. The owner of Comedy Station Comedy Club, Ryan Gleeson, shared the refund request to social media last Thursday (February 24) which saw a couple from Hull demand a refund as they felt it not 'safe to travel' from Yorkshire for a gig on Saturday night (February 26).
