You can laugh at his pain and be a little irresponsible for the night, and that’s exactly what this comedian who has shot to superstardom in recent years wants you to do at his show this Thursday. But it’s your responsibility to follow his “no cell phone” policy. Don’t be the fans that get booted out of the show like these Detroit fans, who found out the hard way.
