BBC
comedian Nish Kumar was met with boos and bread rolls after
making Brexit jokes at a charity cricket lunch.
The presenter of little watched late night programme The Mash Report claimed
that his angered audience needed “far-right” comedians instead of him at the
fundraiser for disability sports.
According to an eyewitness at the Lord’s Taverners Christmas lunch, which
raises money for cricketing charities, Kumar was drowned out by booing and
had food hurled at him after he was very unfunny and made political jokes
that were not funny and unwelcome.
In the end he was ushered off so they could do a raffle
Mike Fitchett, a 68-year-old Taverners member from Oxfordshire, was in the
audience.
'Harry Redknapp was tremendous and we were having a really good day, as
we always do,' he said. 'Then this man, who is supposed to be a comedian,
gets up and delivers what could only be described as a political speech.'
Mr Fitchett added that things quickly turned sour. 'He should have just left
the stage but he refused to do so,' he said. '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.'
