Rich Vos, an American comedian, was performing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada last Friday.
He made a series of homophobic and racist "jokes" towards Indigenous Canadians that prompted 30-40 audience members to walk-out of his set.
The comedy club, Rumors, has stated that he will no longer be invited back to perform after his remarks.
One audience member commented: "It was very clearly racist and nobody was really laughing. It just felt like full on racial attacks, especially against the Indigenous community."
Another one for the shit pile.
