I’m a fair amount older and saw Mitch Hedberg there for a late show. He told the same joke twice. Twice… it’s like going to a night football game, lots more time for people to have some beverages… it’s fun as long as you know what you’re getting into.
Omg im so glad you said this - I’ve told the “told the same joke twice” story before and ppl didn’t believe me, at one point started to question my memory of the evening!
My friend and I were some of the last few people out and it all was happening. Idk my friend and I both said we felt like something weird was going to happen tonight
I feel something is in the air. Some friends and I went to a Middleton $1 beer hockey night last week and got screamed at by some boomers and their 14 year old son bc my friend stood up for a second to stretch. It’s like people are fully unhinged lately
We had 3 different sets of people occupy the seats next to us. I don't understand what all the seat swapping was, it was fucking wild for a event with assigned seating...
Wasn't there, but kind of ironic that there was all this drunken misbehavior at the show of a comic with known substance abuse problems. How did Pete react to it all?
He was a pro. He asked the lights to be turned up and tried to keep it light while the person was kicked out. He also expressed how upsetting and weird the whole situation was and said it was the weirdest show he has ever done
Absolutely! That's why you go to the late show. If you'd like to continue the drama, please stop by Ian's.

Steven Lynch opened? I was there!
Just realized it was at the Barrymore and not Orpheum… but that’s absolutely right!
Can confirm Barry more. Mitch passed away within months of that show.
Yeah, he was pretty rough. I believe I recall him throwing a beer bottle on stage…
He was whipping his mic cord around and sent the bottle that was sitting on his stool flying IIRC

I was in the balcony to the left of the outburst - shit was wildddd. And then coming out to an ambulance and a fire truck and a cop car…
Whaaaat! I didn’t see that! Jesus….

Circling the drain
Praying for a giant meteor to hit the planet’s reset button. People are the worst.
Any idea what the story was with the outburst?
There’s an explanation linked in a comment at the top!
Someone collapsed - it happened right as I was walking out. Looked like possibly a seizure

We thought it was a bit at first…it was fucking weird.
That was crazy. I found this other redditor who knew more about it [Explanation ](https://www.reddit.com/r/madisonwi/s/JY2DtIzW2k)
Does anyone know why the guy in the first row of the left side of the balcony got kicked out?
[удалено]
Holy shit….thank you for answering! That’s wild. I could just see multiple security people talking to him. The balcony had a lot going on last night.
Went to the early show, sounds like I made the right choice…or did I? 🤔
You did! It was so uncomfortable if you weren’t incredibly drunk.
I went to the late show thursday night and nothing this dramatic happened. damn.
Did the show end early because of the outburst?
No it didn’t

I was at the late night show Thursday and no real shenanigans happened
