Peter Kay makes savage dig at ‘Lisa Riley’ heckler at new gig after ‘bullying’ claims

The comedian seems to be holding onto the drama for a while after Peter Kay’s fans were forced to leave a recent performance.

Earlier this month, the 51-year-old dealt with hecklers at his Better Late Than Never… Again! gig at Manchester’s AO Arena. After claiming that they were spoiling the show for the rest of the attendees, he demanded that security remove a number of spectators quickly.

However, after he labelled one ejected fan “Lisa Riley” and the remark hit the headlines, with the heckler claiming Peter was a “bully”. While he said it wasn’t an insult, and Lisa herself acknowledged there was no ill-meaning, the woman in question fumed the star had humiliated her. “Go on, off you go Lisa Riley”, Peter had jibed, making a comparison to the former Emmerdale actress.

And it’s now claimed that he made light of the circumstance at his Friday night gig in Birmingham. According to Mail Online, the Max and Paddy star opened his set by telling the crowd: “Good evening, how are you? Can I just say thank you very, very much for coming tonight. It is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Some of you have been anticipating this for years, and I really hope you enjoy it. So I promise I won’t throw anyone out. I hope you enjoy yourself. Well unless you f***ing start – I’m only kidding. “

It wasn’t the only mention of the past events either, according to fans. She once told him it was her fourth time attending his show when a microphone was given to an audience member to ask a question. He then joked back:” You’re kidding? Thank god you don’t look like Lisa Riley. “

Peter addressed the incident on Good Morning Britain shortly after his initial jibe at his decision to eject the fan in Manchester. I didn’t realise it was an insult, “he said”. She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn’t realise that was an insult. “

The woman in question later admitted she was mortified despite his insistent assertion that there was no dig intended. Myar Curran accused the star of being a” bully”. Myar said in an interview on the ITV show that she was just showing her love when he kicked someone out, which she obviously didn’t like. “She added:” I feel like what I said was not abusive or aggressive – it wasn’t anti-social and I wasn’t drunk. I was just standing up chanting ‘ we love you Peter, we do’. It’s just been a bit over the top, his reaction. “
