Comedian Peter Kay once again confronted unruly audience members during his ongoing tour, this time at London’s O2 Arena. The 51-year-old comic paused his performance on Thursday night to address a group of noisy fans, just weeks after a similar incident in Manchester sparked headlines.
Kay, known for his quick wit and crowd interactions, referenced the controversy surrounding his previous remarks comparing a disruptive attendee to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley. That moment drew criticism from some fans, but rather than shy away, the comedian chose to address it with his trademark humour.
Midway through his latest show, Kay halted the performance to call out the disruption, asking:
“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?”
He then delivered a tongue-in-cheek jab that reignited laughter from the audience, quipping:
“These people in this area now, do any of you look like Lisa Riley? No, alright.”
The remark was met with cheers and laughter from the crowd, as Kay appeared to mock both the disruption and the media reaction to his earlier comments.
The Max and Paddy star’s return to touring after a long hiatus has been met with overwhelming fan support, but the recent streak of hecklers and disruptions has added an unexpected edge to some of his shows.
