Comedian Peter Kay dealt with another disruptive fan incident during his performance at London’s O2 Arena. The 51-year-old comic referenced a previous incident where a fan was ejected from a show. Despite facing criticism for likening an audience member to Emmerdale star Lisa Riley at a previous gig in Manchester, Kay humorously addressed the disruptive fans, pausing his show to address the noisy individual in the audience.
During the show, Kay playfully challenged an audience member to jump from their box, jokingly asking if they would bounce. He then turned to the crowd to gauge their annoyance with the disruptive fans, eventually leaving it to the security team to handle the situation, warning that unruly behavior would result in early dismissal.
This recent incident adds to a series of disruptions at Peter Kay’s shows. Previously, he was forced to remove hecklers from his Manchester performance due to repeated disruptions. One individual was ejected for shouting “Garlic bread,” a reference from Kay’s show “Phoenix Nights,” while another was removed for repeatedly calling out the comedian’s name, earning her the playful nickname of Lisa Riley due to her resemblance to the actress.
One fan present at the show described the scene as Kay intervened to address the disagreement within the crowd, highlighting the tension that led to the audience wanting the disruptive individuals removed. Despite these interruptions, Kay has continued to entertain his audiences, managing disruptions with humor and firmness.
