Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with breaking comedy news. It’s about four in the afternoon on what’s today, Thursday. Apparently last night at the New York Comedy Club, Mark Normand was interrupted and something weird went down, and we don’t know too much about it. So what I’m going to do here is I’m going to play the audio off my phone so you can kind of hear it, but I’m watching the video of it that you’ll find on Twitter, and I’m going to talk over the video so I can kind of describe to you what’s going on.
Then I’ll recycle and play the video clean with good audio for you here. But let me hit play. Mark Normand is on stage, standard brick wall behind him, neon sign that says New York Comedy Club. Mark seems to be mid joke, all right. We now see a man who looks like a typical comedy fan.
The guys weren’t a yellow beanie. He’s jumped up on stage. Now there are two very large security guards who look like they would be ex n y p D. And they’ve pulled the guy to the They pulled the guy off the stage and right to the exit like immediately, like not messing around at all. You hear Norman vibing a little.
Now. Security has taken the mic from Mark Norman and they’re walking him off the stage like he’s the president. It’s really weird. So there goes Mark. The audience is quite confused right now.
You see a lot of cell phones out. Guys, everything’s fine. You just had a momentary. This woman who’s now taken the mic seems like she doesn’t know what to say. Yeah, here’s the producer and he’s saying, we just need everybody to go, and everybody’s getting up and leaving.
All right, let me play this audio for your clean now so you can hear what’s going on. Okay, all right, hey, hard what are we gonna here? Hey? What’s going on? Oh geez?
Everything all right? I want to make sure everybody’s good here. What’s going on? Oh? Oh boy?
Hey, anything can happened on the comedy show. That was kind of weird. Swimmer sex party think okay, somebody got tased? Oh boy, I really froze there. I went to mister McConnell.
Alright, okay, everything guys, everything’s fine, And we just had a momentary interruption just say get up, just get out the taping. Yeah. I’m one of the producers of the show. Yeah, we just need everybody to get out please. Everything’s fine, but any photos or video.
On Twitter on Thursday afternoon, Mark Norman has tweeted about other things. He has not addressed this. On Instagram, he wrote, some stuff went down tonight. My team is trying to put together the details. Sorry to the fans, and that’s all we know.
I don’t want to speculate. I have two ideas as to what went down here, and both of my ideas are very different, and I think it’s unfair of me to speculate about either. So we’ll keep an eye on this and that you’re breaking comedy needs for today. If you’re a casual listener. There was a full episode out earlier in the morning, and the next normal episode will be out at three oh one a m.
