Kevin Bridges donates night’s takings to Children in Crossfire charity
SCOTTISH comedian Kevin Bridges has donated a night’s takings to a worthy Derry charity after a heckling incident at his Millennium Forum gig last week.
The 28-year-old star, who has just completed five nights at the Derry venue, walked off the stage during his Friday show after a woman in the audience would not stop heckling him.
Other audience members slammed the gig “disgraceful” after the woman started shouting abuse forced Bridges to leave the stage and not return.
She was eventually asked to leave by staff at the venue.
Now it has emerged the Glasgow comic has donated a night’s takings to Derry charity Children In Crossfire.
Children In Crossfire Director and Founder, Richard Moore said: “This is a wonderful gesture by Kevin Bridges and everyone associated with Children in Crossfire are extremely grateful.
“These funds will go towards improving the lives of some of the most vulnerable children who suffer from not having access to food, proper medicine or clean water in Tanzania and Ethiopia.
“When David McLaughlin from the Millennium Forum contacted me last night (Monday) to inform me of the news, I couldn’t believe it. It was such a wonderful gesture and will give a great boost to our work and an enormous sense of encouragement to our partners overseas.”
