Jimmy Carr takes a brutal swipe at Peter Kay as he breaks his silence on kicking hecklers out of his own stand-up show just weeks ago

Jimmy Carr has taken a brutal swipe at Peter Kay for his treatment of hecklers - as he broke his silence on kicking disruptive audience members out of his own show just weeks ago.

Incredibly, after being alerted to what was happening while on stage, Jimmy then told the four leaving fans to stay put, before taking on the heckler - sitting in the front row of the first tier - in his notoriously brutal style. According to the eyewitness, the rowdy audience member refused to budge which then sparked Jimmy to hail security who arrived on the scene within seconds and escorted the heckler - and his female companion - out of the theatre. In a post on Instagram Stories, he explained that the first heckler had been disrupting his stand-up show by repeatedly shouting 'garlic bread,' and he made the decision to eject them after 'forty audience members' agreed it was distracting.
