A theatre in London has banned a Belfast comedian from performing there after Jewish audience members were reportedly made to feel unsafe at a show.

The Soho Theatre has apologised, and says it's investigating what happened during Paul Currie's performance last weekend.

Police are also looking in to it.

Stephen Silverman from the charity 'Campaign Against Antisemitism' says the Jewish community in London has been shaken by it, "  we are seeing almost on a daily basis now, incidents such as these, and it is making London in particular, but you know, the UK in general feel like a pretty unsafe place for for Jews at the moment."
