Read our privacy policy A Jimmy Carr fan was seen arguing with a protester about his widely condemned Holocaust joke outside the comedian’s gig. The protesters could be heard calling the gig-goer a “disgrace” after he allegedly said that Carr’s joke was funny. “You’re not from that background, so to somebody like you it might be a joke, but we don’t… we don’t talk about disabled people, we don’t talk about that were murdered, travellers were murdered, Gypsies were murdered, gay people were murdered, alright?” The protestor then said that Carr had “crossed a barrier” when it came to the joke. Signs held outside the Cambridge gig read: “Genocide is not a subject for mockery” and “The only death I’m laughing at is Jimmy Carr’s career” as the picketers called on him to apologise.
