A songwriter who caused controversy with an antisemitic quenelle gesture is not expected to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year.

Alison Chabloz claimed on Tuesday that her 45-minute show Tell Me More Lies would run for four days during the festival at a central venue. But the site did not include her in its online listings.

She claimed she would perform a song featuring "the outrageous lies of so-called 'Holocaust' 'survivors'".

But a festival spokesman confirmed the show was not listed on its schedule.
