Appearing alongside Riddell at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday was Allegra Fitzherbert, 34, and Naomi Stubbs-Gorman, 31. Each faced a charge of malicious mischief aggravated by reason of having a 'terrorist connection'. Riddell, from Glasgow, faced an additional charge of dangerous driving aggravated by reason of having a 'terrorist connection'. The 42-year-old has now cancelled her Edinburgh Fringe show because she cannot travel into the city under imposed bail conditions. Her new show, How Do You Sleep at Night?, was originally due to run for a month at the festival, which begins next week. The comedian's hour-long performance had a slot at Monkey Barrel at The Tron from July 28 until August 24. In an Instagram post, Ms Riddell said: 'Thanks to everyone who has shared my Edinburgh fringe show but unfortunately due to bail conditions I'm barred from Edinburgh for the foreseeable so I won't be doing my show.
