"You are the only audience in my entire 13-year history of performing that have actually thrown something at me," Kumar said, after a bread roll hit the stage.

Responding to the incident, the comic tweeted: "Someone from @BBCFrontRow just contacted me about doing an interview about the “politics of comedians doing corporates” because of what happened last night. Just to be clear, it was an unpaid charity. I had bread thrown at me doing an unpaid charity gig. What a life."

Radio 1 DJ and Taverners' ambassador Greg James said the behaviour of some of the crowd was "appalling" with the Radio One host saying he was embarrassed.

Kumar took to the stage but was soon booed after joking about Brexit.
