Jimmy Carr issued a brutal response as he addressed Peter Kay’s recent heckling ordeal on The One Show on Tuesday (March 25), admitting that he “doesn’t care” if fans shout out during his own performances.

The comedian appeared on the latest instalment of the hit BBC programme, where he spoke to hosts Alex Jones and Vernon Kay about his new comedy series Last One Laughing.

During the interview, Vernon asked Jimmy about his new arena tour, Laughs Funny, which kicks off next month.

“You’re busy on tour, Jimmy,” Vernon began, with Jimmy replying: “I’m always on tour, constantly. Playing the arenas just to big up my ego at the end of the year.”

Talk soon turned to the presence of hecklers, with Jimmy addressing Peter Kay throwing two audience members out of his live tour at the AO Arena in Manchester last month.

The star was in the middle of performing his Better Late Than Never (Again) tour when a man in the audience started repeatedly shouting “garlic bread” at him – one of Peter’s famous catchphrases.

Another woman then started shouting that she “loved” Peter, disrupting the show even further.

The comedian wasn’t impressed with the interruptions and asked the audience if the two hecklers were starting to get on their nerves. After receiving a unanimous reaction from the frustrated crowd, security quickly removed the noisy pair.

Peter has since threatened to eject more fans from his show at London’s O2 Arena last week, after noticing that some disruptive audience members seated in a box were distracting the crowds around them.

On The One Show, Vernon said to Jimmy: “I’m loving the fact that your heckles have gone viral on your socials. You put out the heckles and you do put out the interaction with the audience.”

Jimmy bluntly responded, earning laughs from the hosts: “I quite like that. I like it when people join in. Sometimes it gets out of hand and we have to kick people out of the show, but I’m not like Peter Kay, I don’t care.”

He added: “I don’t care, we’ve got great security. I’m all mouth.”
