Peter Kay leaves fans divided as he calls out ‘a***hole’ concert-goer on stage before booting them

Peter Kay called out to a rowdy fan watching his stand-up show at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Saturday.

The comedian paused his live show to call the guest an “asshole” while causing a scene in the crowd, before being kicked off the show.

Fans were divided on the move as some praised the funnyman while others called the decision “harsh.”

Peter Kay left fans divided on Saturday when he called a fan an ‘asshole’ in the crowd from the stage before walking them out of the show during the UK tour.

Peter is currently on his UK tour, which ends in September and comes after a 12-year absence from stand-up comedy.

And during this weekend’s show, an audience member appeared to be rioting in the crowd, prompting the comedian to interact with him.

Speaking about the concert-goer, he told the audience: ‘Oh, it’s starting. He’s a bit of an asshole, he’s a bit annoying. I like to laugh, I’m a comedian, I like to laugh, but I can tell that other people are getting a little… now’

“He likes to be the center of attention, I know, but I’m on stage,” he continued.

Drama: During the show, an audience member appeared to be going on a rampage in the crowd, prompting the comedian to interact with him.

On The Move: Peter is currently on his UK tour, which ends in September and comes after he took a 12-year absence from stand-up comedy.

Many attendees took to TikTok to share clips of the moment, which showed the guest being escorted out of the arena by security after causing a stir.

And the moment left fans divided as they disagreed on whether or not Peter was right to kick him out via Twitter.

One user agreed with the decision, tweeting: ‘@peterkay_co_uk Absolutely top entertainment at the M&S Bank Arena last night. It’s also an expert way of dealing with a jerk, I think 13,000 people were glad to see him escorted.

Another agreed, sharing that everyone around the guest was “mad” when he endorsed Peter.

But taking the opposite view, another shared: “@peterkay_co_uk first half was fun tonight until you decided to kick that guy out for asking for an autograph, doesn’t look good mate, thought you were one of us.”

The comedian will close his tour in London at the end of this year, after just over half a year touring the country with his stand-up show.

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Peter Kay for comment.
