Peter Kay kicked a father and his son out of his gig in Manchester for repeatedly shouting the comedian’s catchphrase ‘garlic bread’.
The man in question, gave an interview to The Mirror about the incident in which he and his 26-year-old son were forcibly removed from the gig.
"I just can't understand it, all I said was 'garlic bread'... I was there with my son and they dragged us out like ragged dolls," Phillip said.
The warehouse worker maintains that his chanting was well received, even by Kay himself. But the comedian lost his patience with him during the second half of the gig.
Philip, who got tickets to Peter Kay’s gig as a Christmas present from his daughter, added: "In the first half of the show, I shouted out "garlic bread" and they zoomed in on the camera on me. And I put my thumbs up and thought everything was okay. I got no warning or anything, people around us were laughing and joking.
“Then in the second half of the show I said it again, 'garlic bread', and that's when the security guards came over to me and said 'you are going to have to leave - Peter Kay doesn't like people shouting out'."
The incident has sparked a debate online, with some arguing that hecklers ruin performances, while others have commented that this particular incident didn’t warrant an ejection.
I was at Peter Kay on Saturday when this happened. People were cheering him for throwing out the heckler. He was being a prick interrupting the show and it had to be done. https://t.co/Uhm0aefagb
