Comedy Cellar owner Noam Dworman says the mood among his comics is “100 percent outrage,' adding, “Outrage at this Hollywood culture, which looks to their left and looks to their right and then decides what to think as sheep. This was a terrible thing'
A quick-acting security guard grabbed the man and ejected him from the club, leaving his mother sitting mortified at her table. The comic was unharmed.As the industry reels over Smith’s attack — drawing stinging and angry rebukes from A-list comics like Kathy Griffin and Joe Rogan — the live-comedy gatekeepers are reevaluating security protocol while bracing for whatever comes next.
“For two years we are locked in. Now it’s the war in Ukraine — this monster started killing innocent people. How do you react to that? What do you do? You’ve got to let it out sometime. I’m surprised that’s not happening more often, because people are holding everything inside. They don’t know how to release that anger,” Masada says.
Even prior to the Will Smith slap, Masada was concerned enough about the safety of his comics that he added an extra security guard at the Hollywood club. In Chicago, Flagg had done the same. But the Smith attack is precipitating further changes.
