A Kitchener venue is investigating after a Toronto comedian endured Islamophobic heckling during her performance Wednesday night. Three times during Nour Hadidi's 45-minute set at Kitchener's Registry Theatre the same man piped up from the audience. Sam Varteniuk, executive director of the Registry Theatre, said The Registry's anti-harassment policy says that an individual is to be asked to leave in such situations. "The Registry needs to be a safe place, a welcoming place, where people can share stories and thoughts. Then being an immigrant, a visible minority, then a Muslim and if you are a black Muslim, that's another compounding factor."
