One man, who attended the show with his wife and friends, told the BBC the incident happened about five minutes from the end of Mr Currie’s show after the comedian had unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience.
“He started waving it around and some audience members stood up - he encouraged a standing ovation,” said the man, who wished to remain anonymous.
