Skankfest venue apologizes to its staff over Louis CK's "surprise appearance" last Saturday
-
As Vox points out, Louis CK performing at a comedy club could be seen as a workplace safety issue. Brooklyn Bazaar, the venue that hosted Skankfest NYC last week when CK received a standing ovation, says it was taken aback by the disgraced comedian's performance, adding that "it was too late for our staff to stop" him from performing. "We would like to state that this was a surprise appearance and that the venue had no prior knowledge that his performance would occur," Brooklyn Bazaar said in a statement. "By the time he was brought through the side entrance by promoters and put on stage, it was too late for our staff to stop it. Management felt stopping it may put our staff in danger because of the large crowd."
