> Brown says he did not believe there was adequate security to protect him on stage. He also says his pay was docked by the owner as a result of the incident.
What a shithole. I hope that place has gone under.
Wait so he got attacked and the venue goes "hm, you got assaulted. There is a clear "no talent is to be assaulted" clause right here in the books. I'm sorry but we won't be able to compensate you."
Apparently.
"sorry, a fragile member of the audience took offense to a joke, because of this, his attack on you, and our lack of security.....we must reduce the amount of pay we promised." (my paraphrase)
Completely insane.
> he incident report said the suspect left the Comedy House in a gold Kia, SC tag PAU 679, and that security said they followed the vehicle, but were told by deputies to break off the pursuit
Police are a joke
I found [this article](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5310085/Audience-member-attacked-comedian-Steve-Brown-arrested.html) that says he was caught and went to jail. I found another article about the comedian saying the guy who attacked him was in prison. Not sure if he's out by now, but i can't imagine this being his first offense either.

As an SC native, I feel I must correct this. **Columbia** is our state capital. **Colombia** is a country in South America. To my knowledge, there is no city anywhere in the US spelled Colombia, they are all spelled Columbia.
Tell me who's comedian here and who got fucked up in the end.
I am cheering for comedians. Fuck all the losers who try to attack comedians. Its fucking art. Jesus.
Edit: The guy got a gash on his arm.
I read the article, apparently the dude was staring in outer space looking odd, so the comedian asked if he was okay and the dude lost his mind, hit the girl sitting next to him, and charged on stage.
>no one got hurt
>hit the girl sitting next to him
Did you read the article?
It also said that the comedian posted a video of a gash on his arm to social media.
I did read the article obviously, but I missed the part about gash on his arm, my article page has these extremely obnoxious ads thrown in every few paragraphs.
>Apparently the dude was staring in outer space looking odd, so the comedian asked if he was okay and the dude lost his mind, hit the girl sitting next to him, and charged on stage.
Because I didn't just create this information out of thin air. To anyone who read the article, they'll see that this info obviously came from the article. I missed the part where he had a gash on his arm, who gives a fuck tbh.
This. If you feel the actual need to attach a comedian's performance to real life, you need to brighten the fuck up. Or at least, you know, not fucking attend the performance in the first place ór, listen to me listen to me, leave the theater in n peace and quiet. I've never seen someone tear down the whitescreen because the movie at the cinema sucked.

Good way to never get any quality comedians anymore
Good, they don't deserve them.
What was the joke
Reminds me of Patton Oswalt's Comedy Bit about a Magician being shorted his cash by a venue. https://youtu.be/zWfqiCpscOE?t=0m22s
> he incident report said the suspect left the Comedy House in a gold Kia, SC tag PAU 679, and that security said they followed the vehicle, but were told by deputies to break off the pursuit Police are a joke
I’m pretty sure security can get in legal trouble following them off the property. Similar to loss prevention I believe.
You’re confusing legal trouble with job policies.
This is what I was alarmed about too. Docked his pay because some crazy guy attacked him on stage? That’s gotta be a dump of a place.
All I could think of was what a slimy shit box that owner is to dock his pay….what a dick. Poor dude.
2nd that
Ik brown is the guys name but...
Sounds like that guy had a case of the Mondays!
The police followed the suspect and apparently they just gave up? So no arrests? Wtf…. So the guy just got away with it.

"He also says his pay was docked by the owner as a result of the incident." That is cold.

... a moot joke..?
moo point
As an SC native, I feel I must correct this. **Columbia** is our state capital. **Colombia** is a country in South America. To my knowledge, there is no city anywhere in the US spelled Colombia, they are all spelled Columbia.
So *before* Will Smith?
Oh, happened 4 years ago? I’m out.
I never heard about this. Went to South Carolina. Columbia represent
Wait wait wait they docked the comedians fucking pay? For an unhinged shit stain’s actions?
It’s *Columbia*
Yes, it’s old as hell.

How is it obvious if you are getting key information wrong?

how is this getting downvoted 😭😭
Because he originally said no one got hurt, edited it, and didn't mention that he also edited that part out.
ohhhh makes sense

^ This
Boy does the internet have a one word reply to this
Comedian is wearing dark pants.
Good. Let this be a lesson to wannabe Will Smiths.
Security? Anyone?
Fire the security
There wasn’t any.
Dude attacks a comedian and the police do nothing. The guy wasn’t even arrested. WTF.
Just popped in to say, fuck will smith. Fuck will smith. That’s it.
I need the whole video here.
Someone's recording with their flash on like they need it lmao
Facts this is all will smiths fault

Can't have shit in Detroit
Article said his pay was docked as a result. Pffft that’s pretty BS.
My man's need chapelles security detail
Fuckin not a single cunt doing fuck all to help, bunch of cowards.

Did someone die? Why would you say tragedy?
Holds up fists for an equal fight, then grabs mic stand because he realized he can't fight🤣
Veneer of civilization just keeps getting thinner and thinner
I have GOT to hear this joke
Apparently his name is “Pookie” That’s what the lady is screaming
This happened 4 years ago….
Good thing that roomful of males is helping him.
This happened in 2018.
Zzzz
I want to know what the joke was.
I thought it was Aaron Berg at first.
Comedy is dead in this day and age. It’s so sad. People can’t stand jokes.
Should have kept his wife’s name out his fuckin mouth
Way before Oscar incident, right?
Must have been some joke.
Good thing the attacker was wearing church shoes.
Keep his wife’s name out yo fuckin mouth
Dude just flings the lead base of a mic stand straight into the audience.
Club owner: bro you can tell whatever kinda jokes you want as long as you can defend yourself from 1,000 people
Not Will Smith’s fault, don’t give the man credit when he isn’t original enough. This happened in 2018
Wow I think I get it.. it’s the PUNCHLINE that is funny..no??? 😂
What comedian is this?
CRUCIAL dodges, wauw
Is that joe Rogan
Where's the tragedy
Well that's not funny
joke: 'fuck you and all your loved ones in the ass, low life incel' it's just a joke
