A heckler who was kicked out of a comedy show by Amy Schumer after yelling “show us your tits”, says he didn’t mean to "sound so sexist”.

In anonymous comments to Swedish radio station P3, the man – who was wearing a T-shirt that read “love pussies?” – blames excessive alcohol consumption for the outburst.

“It was a hectic day at the job, I didn’t manage to have lunch, and it ended a bit later than I thought. Time was a bit tight and of course I had some beer and some shots, I was really drunk on an empty stomach,” he said.

“Due to the intoxication I thought ‘say this’, which was wrong. She speaks a lot about herself in that way and it felt fitting to me in my intoxicated state.”
A video of the heckler being removed from Schumer’s Stockholm show by security has gone viral on social media after the comedian shared it on her Facebook page.

In it she tells the man, “I’ll show my tits when I want to”, before calling for him to be removed after he makes a second, inaudible remark.

He insists however, that “it was absolutely not my intention to sound so sexist. I have every respect for women, 100 per cent. I really don’t feel good”.
