“On behalf of the whole theater community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity.”
The British comic added to victims of the tragedy, “All we can say is you are not on your own right now.
“Your tragedy is our tragedy. Theater is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved. Hate will never win. Together we have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle.”
