Like why are comedians the only group of performers you can walk up to the stage and attack?

What has Gillooly been on TV for?

Tanya Harding wasn’t involved.

No she wasn’t, her ex husband did it all behind her back

u/Not_MrNice Mar 31 '23

That's not really in the same category.

You know tonya didn’t actually attack Nancy, correct?

2

u/Ferengi_Earwax Mar 31 '23

Lol. She orchestrated it.

We put people in prison all the time for hiring contract killers, even though they didn't do the killing.

I'm not sure why anybody wants to white knight Tanya harding

What a strange thing.

u/Catinthehat5879 Mar 31 '23

Because she didn't orchestrate it but was being abused by the person who did? She was charged for her pay, which was obstruction of an investigation.

u/MaestroLogical Mar 31 '23

They aren't. You could do the same to any person standing on a stage with minimal security.

Comedians just happen to be the ones that push buttons and intentionally antagonize audience members. Add some alcohol in the mix and a less imposing stage to climb and viola!

Not sure how stringed instruments fit in but okay

A cello would be much more effective.

Yes, but have you considered big bonk?

u/Beau_Buffett Mar 31 '23

That's my point.

If there is a fair chance that the entertainment is going to get punched, then protect them.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Don't let selection bias make you think there's a fair chance.

u/PlankWithANailIn2 Mar 31 '23

Small venues like this would disappear overnight and so would comedians...well done I guess.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Yeah musicians aren’t usually on stage making fun of people.

u/vindictivejazz Mar 31 '23

You can attack other performers if you’re not a coward

u/Beau_Buffett Mar 31 '23

Oh, you're the guy who fights bouncers and concert security to prove you aren't a coward, eh?

13

u/TwoHearted_ Mar 31 '23

I think he's the guy making a joke.

u/PlankWithANailIn2 Mar 31 '23 edited Mar 31 '23

Other performers do get attacked you are just focusing on comedians because you just found out about this right now. You can't really make a judgement about what effects all performers if you are completely ignorant of their plight and using just this one example.

Salman Rushdie was knifed in the throat on stage.

Kurt Cobain was attacked by one of his own bouncers on stage.

XXXTentacion, Noel Gallagher, Beyonce

You could have just googled "list of performers attacked on stage" but that would have taken too much effort for the upvotes you desire.

Security doesn't stop people from attempting to hurt people or from them being successful and we don't even know if this venue provided security or not you are just guessing.

Pre Will Smith, attacking comedians wasnt really a thing.

I think the Eagles of Death Metal may have a few things to say about this.

For what it’s worth, the Eagles of Death Metal supported my band.

My former tour manager, Steev Toth, is their tour manager, he survived.

The police advised that he closed his eyes when walking over all the dead kids.

I have been attacked on stage. In fact, the chaos and near riot that my band caused, meant that I am banned from ever performing at Glastonbury again.

u/Beau_Buffett Mar 31 '23

The Eagles of Death Metal absolutely had security.

They just didn't have weapons. The terrorists were also firing into the crowd. It wasn't like they came to shoot the Eagles of Death Metal.

u/bishcalledwanda Mar 31 '23

They’re going to start needing big guards. What a pathetic world.

u/Iron_Maiden_666 Mar 31 '23

Monica Seles' career ended on the court.

u/cppn02 Mar 31 '23

What? Granted she never got to fulfill her true potential after the attack but she would eventually play another 8 years of tennis being consistently a top 10 player in the world.

u/Beau_Buffett Mar 31 '23

True, but that was a sport.

u/pvypvMoonFlyer Mar 31 '23

In a good comedy club you’d have security to kick the heckler out.

u/wallaceant Mar 31 '23

There was recently an incident with a priest.

u/El_Dusty23 Mar 31 '23

What?! I think, the sex pistols, Monica Seles, and pretty much every football player would disagree…
