Watch the moment fuming John Bishop calls security to kick ‘aggressive’ audience member out of show – and gets cheered

FURIOUS John Bishop confronted a couple at his comedy show over alleged ‘aggressive' behaviour before ordering security to kick a woman out.

The comedian was forced to act after the man and woman in the front row reportedly talked throughout his set continuously.

The 58-year-old made his feelings known by consistently asking them to stop speaking.

According to other audience members, the comedian eventually requested that they leave the theatre.

The man is said to have gestured towards Bishop in an aggressive manner before he was grabbed by security and escorted out.

Comic Bishop was heard telling them: “They all have as much right as you do to enjoy the show.”

He then waved at the woman before security escorted her out and said: “See you then.”;

The room applauded the comedian while jeering at the woman leaving the gig, as reported by NeedToKnow.

The incident took place at the Princess Theatre in Torquay during Bishop’s Back At It tour last Thursday.

An onlooker said: “John warned a couple on the front row several times for the show to stop speaking.

“After the interval they continued doing so and then John told them he wanted them to leave.”

They claimed: “The man then stood up and gestured towards John as if he was going to jump on stage.

“Security got to him in time, grabbed him by the cuff of his shirt and then slammed him through two fire doors.

“My video only recorded the aftermath in which he then wanted this man's wife thrown out of the building and slightly later two of their friends were also thrown out.”

Members of the public applauded the comedian for his actions.

George Rose said: “I’m not a fan of John Bishop’s comedy, but he comes across as a decent bloke.”;

Gerry said: “There’s always one.”;

Another added: “Good lad John for putting them in their place, you are brilliant.”;

One stated: “Well done John.”;

Another said: “Why do people do this?”;

The Princess Theatre has been approached for comment.

It is the latest in a string of high profile ejections at comedy gigs.

So far this year both Peter Kay and Jimmy Carr kicked disruptive audience members out of their shows.
