Mark O'Neill, who compered the popular Comedy-by-Bow night held in the Galvanisers Union bar in east London posted an update on Facebook in the hours after the polls closed.

Less than half an hour after the exit polls were revealed on Thursday, Mr O'Neill announced his ban of Conservative comedians claiming they were 'fundamentally incompatible with the values of the night... and those running it'.

However, soon after posting the update, Mr O'Neill received criticism from comedy fans who accused him of censorship.

Now, Mr O'Neill has been forced to find a new venue for his comedy night.

On Thursday night, Mr O'Neill wrote: 'Comedy-by-Bow used to be an inclusive comedy night where all were welcome. Tonight that has changed.

'Be aware that if you are a Tory voter you are no longer welcome to perform here. You can have your own "free speech zones" somewhere else, because there will not be a platform for you here.

'Your vote proved that you as a person are fundamentally incompatible with the values of the night and the values of those running it.

Later he wrote: 'We are literally Hitler now' before claiming his critics were a bunch of 'non-snow flakes' who were 'real offended by a comedy night you're never going to come to'.

Mr O'Neill posted details of his Tory ban only 30 minutes after exit polls indicated Labour were facing annihilation across huge swathes of the north of England and the Midlands

Mr O'Neill offered up-and-coming comedians a five-minute slot during his weekly event which had been held a the Galvanisers Union in Bow on Monday nights

He followed up his attacks the following morning by suggesting 'we're literally Hitler now'

'You are not welcome here.'

In a later update he wrote: 'Last night Comedy-by-Bow posted a status post-election results that was severely misguided.

'These opinions were a severe momentary and emptional lapse in judgement by the person who runs this page, and me alone. It was unprofessional and it was wrong. I apologise.'

Mr O'Neill said some people had directed 'ire' towards the pub and its staff. He stressed it was just the venue.

He said: 'My actions are not reflective of the opinions of the Galvanisers Union pub, nor its management or staff, nor have they endorsed those actions or opinions. In light of the situation we have decided to part ways.'

He added: 'I am truly sorry for any offence caused by the post and will take on the feedback to reflect on myself and my opinions and prejudices and biases going forward.'
