Joanne McNally has revealed that during one of her recent shows, a man was removed from the audience after he was caught touching himself.
The renowned comedian shared the story on her My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast with co-host Vogue Williams.
She said: "Something fantastic happened to me recently on tour.
"I was gigging in York and when I came off stage I heard through the grapevine there was a man removed from the stalls for having a go of himself."
Joanne jokingly continued: "Now obviously, I was thrilled. Because, as we know, I am quite hostile, we’ve always said the shows are a little bit of a c**k block, and I find it does stand in the way of me romantically.
"So when I heard he was having a go of himself, I was like 'I’ve still got it'. What are the levels here, is he hot, is he single?"
Vogue then abruptly chipped in: "He’s w***ing in public, why would you care if he’s hot or not?"
Joanne humorously continued: "Vogue, do you know how hard it is for me in this industry?"
"A woman messaged me after the show to say ‘there was a lad removed from the stalls for wanking’ and I said 'I heard', and she said 'I have a video' and I said 'send it to me stat'.
"She sent me the video, and it wasn’t as complimentary as I thought it was going to be…"
"Firstly, he looked like he was asleep. I thought he was kind of risking a danger w*** because he couldn’t control himself…
"But it was more like he was bored and was kind of self-soothing. It was a rubbing.
Joanne concluded: "And then he was removed, and he just went… which I thought was also insulting.
"Like fight for me? You know. I’m still on stage, you’re not even finished."
