Comic attacked on Manchester stage

Aussie comic Jim Jeffries, performing at the Comedy Store in Manchester (England, not New Hampshire), is attacked. It’s on YouTube, of course, complete with a pitch for Jeffries’ CD at the end of the clip!

One comment on the clip, left by someone identified only as “lamrachypoo,” said:

Brilliant. I will step up security for your gig with us in June x

Step up security, indeed!

The attack is unprovoked. As Jeffries himself says, when he returns briefly to the stage, he wasn’t even saying anything remotely controversial. (He was doing material about “weird cunts.”)
