Out comic Sampson McCormick was performing his routine before about 100 people at a California casino last week when he was heckled by a female audience member. The Advocate reports that "McCormick, 36, says that a woman began heckling him about halfway through his set for no clear reason. He, in kind, turned his attention to her and began responding. During his responses, a man in the audience approached the stage and punched him in the face hard, leading to an all-out fight. The attacker appeared to be in his thirties, according to the comedian." "As a comedian, I'm going to heckle you back," he told the Advocate. "I started teasing her about the obvious, which was that she only had about three-and-a-half teeth in her mouth." The woman approached the stage, then, as audience member Susie Maldonado told the Advocate: "We were just sitting there enjoying the show, and Sampson was being funny... doing his thing when this little tweaker girl kept trying to get on stage. This big heavy-set tweaker guy then just rushed the stage, yelling 'what did you say about my sister,' And I don't even know if Sampson had the time to react because the guy clocked him hard, and then they began fighting." McCormick, the Advocate adds, was taken aback by the man, who was a white man larger than he was. The man landed a punch on the left side of McCormick's face. "He was in my face," McCormick says, "I should have kissed him." The man said, "I'm going to beat your Black ass." "He hit me so hard," McCormick said, "I just started hitting him back as hard as I could." In the one-minute melee that followed, "McCormick alleges he hit the unnamed attacker four or five times and slammed him into a table in front of the stage."⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ??️‍?⁠ ?: Sampson McCormick @sampsonmccormick
