Peter Kay halts London show as he threatens security on ‘noisy’ fans – weeks booting out ‘Lisa Riley lookalike’ heckler
PETER Kay threatened to set security on rowdy fans at his London O2 show on Thursday night.
The comedian halted his set to call out the hecklers – weeks after his ‘Lisa Riley lookalike’ controversy.
He was under fire for “humiliating” Scottish fan Myar Curran, 25, over his “rude” jibe as he kicked her out of his Manchester show.
However, faced with more disruption during his Thursday night show, the 51-year-old didn’t hesitate in giving the crowd a telling off.
According to the Mirror, Peter asked the arena: “Is it them in that box? Is that them? Who is it? Eh, it’s you monkeys there.
“Now then, what are we going to do with you now?
“These people in this area now, do any of you look like Lisa Riley? No, alright.”
The moment got a huge laugh from the audience after the famous incident last month, in which Myar was escorted out for reportedly shouting “we love you Peter Kay”.
Audience members claimed he replied: “Had a drink have we?
“Go on, off you go Lisa Riley.”
Peter was referring to the Emmerdale actress, who plays Mandy Dingle, and has spoken openly about her battle with booze – she also hasn’t had a drink in nine years.
Tonight’s latest awkward fan interaction for the beloved Brit saw him joke about the previous mishap which left fans divided over how he handled the heckler.
Peter asked the audience to raise their hands “if those gentlemen are p****ing you off” before telling his security team to deal with the chaos.
He announced: “You can carry on, but if you’re rambunctious, you’re going home early… you naughty boys.”
Peter said after the heckler disruption in February that he had only ever kicked out one other person in the last three years of being on tour.
Footage caught the moment Peter hit out at a man at his show after he was repeatedly interrupted by him screaming out his old “garlic bread?” catchphrase.
Peter responded: “Garlic bread? Kick him in the f***ing face, will ya? Everyone around you is thinking ‘p***k’.”
Peter then demands a light be put on the culprit and points him out to security guard Keith, declaring: “Give us a wave, n**head.”
He adds: “Look at him, he doesn’t know where he is!” before leading a chant of: “You’re going out.”
A few moments later, another woman from the other side of the arena started to yell too.
This prompted Peter to also hit out at her and throw the “Lisa Riley” insult at her.
In an interview with The Sun, disgruntled fan Myar – who was the butt of the joke – spoke of her shock and embarrassment.
She insisted: “I didn’t mean to cause any harm, I was just showing my love as he kicked someone out but he obviously didn’t like it.”
Following the backlash, the comic treated the real Lisa Riley to a VIP experience at his next Better Late Than Never … Again show.
The actress has also since spoken out about the incident, dismissing the issue and writing on Instagram: “Please draw a line under this now, I am not offended, never was offended.
“I love Peter Kay to pieces. Laughter is my favourite medicine.”
