Comedian Peter Kay removed three disruptive audience members from his Manchester show, prompting criticism and debate about heckling and comedian conduct.
Peter Kay faced controversy after ejecting three hecklers from his 'Better Late Than Never... Again!' Manchester gig at the AO Arena. In an Instagram statement, Kay detailed the incident, explaining that he initially tried to address the disruptive behavior with humor, but when it persisted, he sought the audience's opinion. A significant number of attendees expressed their annoyance, prompting Kay to take action.
The comedian, known for his observational humor, paused his performance several times to engage with the hecklers, using sarcasm and playful insults. He directed security guards to illuminate the individuals, pointed them out to the crowd, and even encouraged filming of the situation. During the removal, Kay made pointed comments about the hecklers' appearance and behavior, including comparing one to actress Lisa Riley and alleging drunkenness. A woman, identified as 25-year-old Myar Curran, claimed she was targeted for her weight and was left in tears. Another heckler, Phillip Peters, expressed bewilderment, stating that his only offense was uttering the phrase 'garlic bread'. The incident sparked debate online, with some defending Kay's actions as necessary to protect the enjoyment of other audience members, while others criticized his language and the public humiliation of the hecklers
