BBC comic Nish Kumar booed off stage after outrageous anti-Brexit rant at charity event
A LEFT WING comedian who appears regularly on the BBC was booed off the stage and attacked with a bread roll after he used a Christmas charity lunch to promote “extreme” anti-Brexit views.
Nish Kumar was invited to attend the Lord’s Taverners Christmas lunch to perform a stand up set to raise money for vulnerable children. However, the comedian, most famous for starring on the BBC Mash Report, used the opportunity to make a number of derogatory remarks about Brexit. The stand up set caused outrage among those present, with Mr Kumar - dubbed “undoubtedly the UK's hottest comedian” - facing backlash from the audience.
Guests at the Lord’s Taverners Christmas charity lunch booed and heckled the comedian for his distasteful jokes.
Tension in the room then rose even further when Mr Kumar chose to confront those who disagreed with him on the UK’s future outside of the EU.
Mr Kumar labelled those who did not share his opinion as “thick”, causing to anger in the room to boil over.
The BBC comic described it as "the rowdiest gig I've ever done" as hecklers shouted "don't do politics".
The Mash Report star was even forced to leave the stage after someone threw a bread roll at him.
Describing the outrage in the room, Mike Fitchett, 68, told The Mail Online: “This man, who is supposed to be a comedian, gets up and delivers what could only be described as a political speech.
“He should have just left the stage but he refused to do so. This was not at all what our organisation is about.
“These were extreme, far-left political views and we are a charity.
"It was all very offensive and I shall be writing to our chief executive to make my feelings clear.”
Another guest at the event described how Mr Kumar ruined the event by making the atmosphere “uncomfortable for everyone”.
They added: “People had gone there for a good time and to raise money for disadvantaged kids to be able to play sport.
"It wasn't even comedy material – just a series of political statements."
