An Israeli theatre-goer has described how a comic ‘incited’ a crowd against him and eventually forced him to leave a comedy show after being left feeling "unsafe". Jewish attendees were "subjected to verbal abuse" after the end of Paul Currie's show at the Soho Theatre in central London on Saturday night, the theatre has said. Liahav Eitan, an Israeli man, had been attending the one-hour show ‘Shtoom’ by the comedian at the theatre when the incident occurred.
A spokesperson for the theatre said: "On Saturday evening, following the end of Paul Currie’s show Shtoom, Jewish members of the audience were subjected to verbal abuse and the performer aggressively demanding they leave the theatre."Such appalling actions are unacceptable and have no place on our stages, now or ever. "We will not be inviting Paul Currie back to perform at our venue.
