Comedian Patrick Kielty Apologises For McCann Jokes

It has been reported that Comedian Patrick Kielty has apologised for joking about missing child Madeleine McCann in his stand-up performances.

It was said that Patrick made gags about the four-year-old during his show in Dublin on Wednesday and some fans objected to his comments and decided to walk out.

At one point in the show Patrick said that Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry, who are official suspects in the case, should have disposed of the body of their daughter by checking her in as luggage on a Ryanair flight.

A spokeswoman for Patrick Kielty offered the comedian’s apologies to those who were offended. She said that Patrick is a comedian and the material was written to reflect the media’s changing attitude towards the case and should be taken in that context.”

Patrick’s spokeswoman also added that the same jokes had been made during a performance in London last week, and no complaints were received.
