💨 Abstract

Comedian Andrew Lawrence faced backlash and canceled shows after making a joke about the Liverpool parade crash that injured 79 people. His comment on X was deemed insensitive, leading to widespread criticism and the cancellation of an upcoming gig in Essex. The Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance and actor Barry Sloane condemned his remark. Lawrence acknowledged the cancellation, expressing disappointment and plans to reschedule. The incident involved a man driving into a crowd of Liverpool fans, with seven people still hospitalized.
