NYPD Arrests Audience Member During Comedy Show, Heckles Comedian

‘Obviously shut the f-ck up!’ a police officer shouted at the comic

Here's the NYPD Arresting an Audience Member Mid-Comedy Show, Then Heckling the Comedian (The Village Voice)

As a general rule, the worst thing that can happen during a comedy set is realizing you've accidentally stumbled into some kind of hellish Dane Cook/Daniel Tosh marathon. But it could be worse! You could, for example, be sitting in a comedy show around midnight at the Upright Citizens Brigade's Chelsea theater when four members of New York's finest come in, fish you out of the audience, and arrest you. That's what looks to have happened this past Saturday night, during a UCB variety show called Underground Americana. The comedian onstage, Adam Newman, says he watched officers come in with flashlights and immediately handcuff a guy sitting to the left side of the stage. When Newman asked what was going on, an NYPD officer advised him to "shut the fuck up."
