COMEDIAN Jimmy Carr wasn't laughing when his audience was evacuated during a gig in Grays.
Grays man Ian Allcock, 26, was in the audience at Civic Hall, Blackshots Lane, when he says it was halted for about 30 minutes because of a small fire near the stage.
The hall could not be reached for comment.
