What was supposed to be an exciting night out for Myar Curran quickly turned into an upsetting experience when she was ejected from comedian Peter Kay’s live show.
The 25-year-old, who had traveled from Scotland to see the performance at Manchester’s AO Arena, never expected to leave feeling humiliated.
A Cheer That Led to an Ejection
Myar, a longtime fan of the Bolton-born comedian, was enjoying the show with her family and friends.
At one point, she stood up and shouted, “We love you, Peter!”—a seemingly harmless cheer.
However, her enthusiasm was met with an unexpected response.
Kay, from the stage, instructed security to remove her from the venue.
As she was being escorted out, he called out, “Go on, off you go, Lisa Riley.”
Accusations of Public Humiliation
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Myar shared her disappointment, stating she felt the comment was a direct attack on her weight.
“I didn’t mean to cause any harm. I was just showing my love for him,” she said.
“His reaction was over the top.”
She also added that she doesn’t expect an apology but has no intention of attending another one of his shows again.
Personal Struggles and Emotional Impact
For Myar, the experience was particularly painful because the event held sentimental value.
“I lost my mum a couple of years ago, and she was supposed to come with us.
This was something special,” she explained.
The emotional toll was further compounded by the laughter of the crowd.
“They thought it was part of the show, but there was a nastiness in his voice,” she said, revealing that she broke down in tears at her hotel room after the show.
Lisa Riley’s Subtle Response
Actress Lisa Riley, who was unintentionally dragged into the incident, seemed to respond with a cryptic Instagram post.
She shared a positivity quote: “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.”
While she didn’t mention Kay directly, her message appeared to address the situation, urging people to focus on positivity.
A Pattern of Harsh Responses?
Myar wasn’t the only one removed from the venue that night.
Earlier in the show, audience members Philip Peters and his son were also ejected after heckling Kay with repeated shouts of “Garlic bread!”
Kay’s response to them was just as intense, telling security to “knock the f*** out of him” and “drag him out by his pubes.”
Mixed Reactions from Fans
While some attendees saw the comedian’s remarks as part of his usual brand of humor, others felt he crossed a line.
Myar, a care worker and mother of one, admitted that she has gained weight over the years and is self-conscious about it.
“I know Lisa Riley has lost a lot of weight and looks great now, but she used to be bigger,” she said.
“I used to be smaller, but I had a child. I was just shocked that he would mock me like that.”
Moving Forward
Despite the public backlash, Peter Kay has not addressed the incident.
Myar remains hurt by what happened but hopes that speaking out will shed light on how public figures should treat their fans.
“It felt like he was trying to get the crowd against me. It just wasn’t nice,” she concluded.
As for whether this will impact Kay’s reputation, that remains to be seen.
But for Myar, one thing is clear—she won’t be watching his work again.
