A comedian who wrote a sick joke about Liverpool’s victory parade tragedy has had his next gig cancelled.
Andrew Lawrence has received numerous complaints after writing on X: “To be fair, if I was in Liverpool, I'd drive through crowds of people to get the f*** out of there as well.”
Multiple X users reported the comment to Merseyside Police, branding Lawrence as a “disgrace”. One person commented: “RIP your career I guess.”
In response to the comment, the comedian’s upcoming gig at Caddies South End has now been cancelled.
