Peter Kay, Lisa Riley Address Heckler Controversy in Reunion

Peter Kay and Lisa Riley have publicly reaffirmed their friendship following a recent incident during one of Kay's stand-up shows, where he compared a heckler's appearance to Riley's. After the February 8 performance at Manchester's AO Arena, Kay ejected two audience members for disruptive behavior, leading to a debate about his comments and their implications. Riley, who attended Kay's show in Leeds on March 8, expressed her appreciation for the performance, stating it was 'absolutely hilarious' and 'northern at its best.' She emphasized that she was not offended by Kay's remarks and urged others to 'keep calm and laugh.' Both have since shared positive interactions on social media, dispelling any notions of conflict between them. Kay noted the heckler's resemblance to Riley was not intended as an insult, while Riley has consistently defended him against public backlash.
