A few unhinged members of a New Jersey comedy club audience must have gotten lost on their way to a Trump rally.
The word “*foreshadowing*” appears in text on the screen after Elias’ prescient comment. “I know where I am,” Elias told, describing that moment. “The club’s logo uses an image of a gun instead of the letter ‘L.’ She’s clearly trying to bait me into something, [so I thought] let me see where she tries to take it on her own, and maybe I can use it to get out of this.”
In an attempt at defusing the situation, Elias told the crowd, “Everybody, vote for who you want to vote [for]. I don’t care who you voted for. I’m just happy that we’re all here together.”“I can tell by the fact that you’re still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for Trump,” Elias fired back. When the woman claimed no one told her to stop talking, the comedian said, “Make some noise if you want her to shut up,” which generated cheers and whoops from the audience.
Elias next tried to get back on track and finish her act. “Here, I’ll tell you the rest of that bit, and then we’ll move on,” she said. “I’m so insecure, I went and got an IUD…” At that moment, a person Elias described as male threw a can of beer that flew by Elias’s head and crashed into the brick wall behind her. Elias, startled, looked at the crowd with a stunned expression on her face.In the video, Elias calmly bent down to pick up the beer and proceeded to chug it.
“I knew I had to chug it,” she says. “I was so relieved that there was still some left in there after it exploded against the wall. Also my adrenaline was going crazy, so even though normally I don’t drink before or during sets, I felt like this was a valid exception.” Elias said on Twitter that the person who threw the beer “ran out of the club immediately after throwing it.” She tellsthat Uncle Vinnie’s is pressing charges, though she declined to do so herself. “[The club] apologized, made sure I was OK, and asked if I wanted to press I charges. I don’t, because I’m never going back to that town again without someone paying me,” she says. The club has“I don’t hide who I am or change how I present myself.
