Comic Steve Brown was assaulted with his own mic stand and stool while performing standup Sunday night in South Carolina.
According to footage shared online, the comedian and former “Comic View” writer was wrapping up a multi-night stand at The Comedy House in Columbia when an audience member in the front row had apparently heard enough.
Brown asked the man what was wrong, and that was all she wrote.
