Comedian Jimmy Carr has addressed his widely-condemned Holocaust 'joke' as he appeared at a gig in Whitley Bay.
The 49-year-old sparked outrage when a clip from his Netflix special His Dark Materials was widely shared on social media in which he 'joked' about the Holocaust.
In the clip, Carr said the deaths of thousands of gypsies had been one of "the positives" of the Holocaust, igniting a furious backlash.
