Kevin Bridges in controversy over gig on day of Queen's death
When Bridges took to the stage he is alleged to have made some jokes about the events of the day. After saying "Welcome to the only fucking show going ahead in Britain this evening. The doors were at half six, she hung on it's what she would have wanted" he is reported to have said that he was wearing a black suit as a tribute and words to the effect that the Queen would not be the only old woman to die this winter and also that the title King Charles sounded like a small dog. He added that people were checking their phones to see if they had the day off.
