- We had no idea how much commotion was going on in the back of the theatre. Thankfully, a fan submitted a video of the altercation. Unfortunately, she is the one who got punched (which is why her video cuts out).

10:20 You know, this is why I keep coming back and this is why I consider you the best entertainer curretly on the scene: Your compassion and empathy shine through. I grew up in Seattle and yeah, when I was young you would get THROWN out of a place, so idk what those bouncers were gettin paid for but they ain't bouncers worth a dime ask me. Well done!
@@aick The reason bouncers are less physical these days is because of liability; nobody likes to be sued. Even a frivolous lawsuit costs money to fight, so it's easier and cheaper to avoid putting yourself in a situation where they might sue. Getting physical is a HUGE risk factor in that calculation because in addition to her already being a Karen, she could have some medical condition that could increase her risk of injury. The only winning move is not to play.
I really thought that you were click baiting with that title, but nope. That happened...
@@aick same, I was like "oooowww", nice save lol
Thank you for what you said at the end there, calling out the kid glove treatment and the reasoning behind it, thank you. 8:35
i always love seeing Steve be so compassionate, he can rip a Hecklers throat out but, he is seemingly a really kind and empathetic guy to hope (The Cry for Help Guy) that he’s doing okay and say that he appreciated him being at the show and participating during the Q&A. That’s really cool of him.
I totally agree! Steve is such a good guy... just don't fuck w him and you'll be good lol that was super sweet of him to add at end end of the clip! I love showing love/supporting this guy! 👏👏👏
He was bullied a lot as a kid and (to nobody’s surprise) turned a negative into a positive. You can definitely see there’s a real person in there and the authenticity in there.
Seems like a good dude that I wouldn’t want to ruin his show.
@@fightclub6291 Yeah, and what really makes me respect him even more is that he didn’t turn that childhood trauma of being bullied and turn it on someone else in adulthood like so many sadly do, in fact his book, “Ginger Kid,” is up next on my reading list.
What about the punched woman though ? Lol
@@DocM. Dang! Sounds like you have way more stories to tell... It's unfortunate that Steve acted that way but like you said, maybe it was just an off day or something. I met him in Milwaukee and off stage he was actually a decent guy, at least for the little time I got to meet and talk to him. He sells (or did at the time at least) a card, a digital access to multiple sets and it costs I believe $25. That's already discounted but he ended up giving my girlfriend and I an extra discount too, I think it was $5 more off. But $5 is $5. My girlfriend and I each wanted a t-shirt and he was out of her size. For her willingness to take one size larger, he gave us $5 off the card. And he was polite too. He really is one of those guys that can be an absolute a**hole but if you treat him with respect he will reciprocate.
I really hope you come back to this thread after he visits your facility again. I'd love to hear how it goes, how he treats everyone, etc. Either way though, thank you for sharing your experiences! 🙂🙂🙂
I'm really glad you made special note of the cry for help guy. He may have been kidding, but it's very possible he was being genuine, and because of his inflection and the overall setting, most people would overlook him. You are loved. You are wanted. You are special. If you need help. Please ask someone for help.
He earned a like on this video for sure with that
I've tried asking for help, only for people to either ignore me or call me annoying.
@@garrickkthegreat5762 There are plenty of us out there that do care. The people that act callously and negatively about those are, usually, insecure and have their own issues. If someone treats you like that when genuinely speaking about your needs, just know that's their way of trying to deflect and not acknowledge their own needs. Keep your head up and know that there is positivity and support for you all around. Times get tough but time also fixes as long as you don't give up. From one human to another, I support you.
"Just pretend she's a tent on the sidewalk and kick it off". That one killed me 😂
I guess Neptune Theater hired the Uvalde police to work security?
Damn😂😂
You should try this at an open mic.
They only hire the best part time school resource officers available.
Haha shout in a half🤣🤣
Your name is now Sid, because that was vicious
As someone who battles with anxiety and depression, I appreciate you guys for giving that man the time of day and not making him feel worse about what he's going through. It's really hard to ask for help these days. So many people are going through their own struggles and when you're trying to fight your own battles, I know sometimes it's hard to be there for other people, so seeing that means a lot to even me. That alone is worth a sub for sure! ✊
Agreed, sir.
Damn, I know bouncers have patience but this... If another patron get assaulted while 3 bouncers and at least 1 cop are right next to the troublemaker... Somebody didn't quite understand their job description
Straight up
What cop? Just because they have a crest on their shirt doesn't make them a cop.
@@Lorrdd He was carrying a gun lmao. Was obviously a cop!
@@momchilandonovor maybe the fact I’m positive the badge said Seattle police on it but yk🤷🏽♂️
My thoughts exactly 👏👏✌️
"I don't know that book either." I laughed so hard I choked on my beer.🤣🤣🤣
As disruptive as she was, the bystandar's footage shows us how big the venue was. I've always wondered that. But yeah she should have been escorted out much faster. "Come on miss grab your jacket and let's go" while holding her by the arm.
People these days tend to immediately turn that into a discussion (usually at the top of their voices) of "you're not allowed to touch me" and "my basic rights are being impinged". They don't realize that this is a discussion you can have with a *judge* afterwards, but not with a bouncer / cop on the scene, who explicitly have the right to ban you from the premises, and don't even have to give you a reason for that.
@@DevSolar Especially since that kind of person usually doesn't give a single thought to how their actions affect other people's rights to, you know, hear the show they paid to attend. Or the right to not be annoyed by some bitch that thinks she's more important than an entire theater full of people who can control themselves for an hour.
"Imagine getting kicked out at the Q&A."
She certainly got her money's worth.
I was at this show and it was phenomenal. That all happened behind us so we couldn't see it until now.
Giving a shot out to the guy at the end was an awesome classy move. We all hope he is doing okay. ❤
The energy at that show was amazing. PACKED house all laughing their asses off. Thanks Steve, hope the crazy lady in the back doesn't stop you from coming back, lol.
I thought a Jesus Computer was just a box running Windows 11 - it's a miracle if it's working to begin with.
Love seeing when a show goes off the rails, and how talented comics fight to get the train back on the rails
"Steady, steady...we gotta make it to Waffle House...!"
Your comment at the end man. Respect.
10:27 "...things are going better for you." Thank you for that. Some of us struggle daily to keep it together emotionally, and you are helping anyone who hears you just by supporting him. Sometimes you lose sight of who you are and need to be reminded...let's stop there. Thank you.
Love the jokes. But you taking the time to narrow cast to that guy asking for help, that is the best. Humanity 100%
If you need help or having a crisis, the Ntl S Hotline and Crisis line you can text are some resources, just for anyone who’s crying for help and not okay! I apparently can’t post the numbers but there is help out there!
Thank you for considering that Not Okay guy may not have been joking, that’s important
Steve you’re a one of a kind guy. Hang in there cry for help guy!!!
I didn't think I could love Steve any more, but then that shout out at the end for the person who said they needed help... *hugs*
I'm going to be at the Chicago show with my father next month. I hope we don't get anyone punched at our show.
“Just pretend she’s a tent…”
GOLDEN!!
Im not the help guy but, Im constantly having a hard time, im sorry to find out you have the anxiety too. I hope your are cooping ok,
You make my day better and cant wait to see the days video from you. Usually i just give an obligatory comment ( 1 letter) but, today i thought id say hi.
Hang in there, you are worth it and loved by people you don't even know!
You got this Katie! I know that there's that old adage "One day at a time", well, sometimes even THAT is too much. I have done 5 minutes at a time.
"Okay... this 5 is down. Onto the next 5, and the next 5...and the next." Before I know it... the day is done.
It's okay to 5 minute it. Hell, even 60 second it.
Yikes! Is the fan OK?!
Love that message at the end. I just started help (counseling) a couple months ago, it helps!
I know it's been said a bunch in the comments, and maybe I'm saying it for myself, but thank you Steve for taking the time to reach out at the end for the guy who said he needed help. If your the guy out there and reading this, please know that no matter what you are going through, however you are feeling, there is a giant community of people who will listen and assist in any way possible. Steve, thank you for what you do!
I think I saw someone throw an air punch in that little side clip, somebody threw something before the actual punch that landed. What did the lady with the phone do anyway? She was just there!
Steve is so caring throwing in that clip at the end for the “cry for help guy”
You were in Seattle and I missed it?
Man that hurts, still always amazing to get to see you Hofstetter!
Thanks for sharing Steve. You guys rock!
Thank you for sharing your talent. Unable to see you live...thank you for sharing on the net. Medellin, Colombia watches.
I love all the great improv jokes you three got out of the woman getting kicked out "at the buzzer" so to speak.
Dude love your posts, and thanks for being supportive of the need help guy that’s awesome energy and why I like watching your content! Hope you in Atlanta sometime so I can check your show.
That awesome to add that message to the "cry for help guy" far to many folks suffer in silence.
The Cry for Help Guy was trying so hard to be a heckler without actually being a full blown a-hole. You can tell he wanted to be on a CZcams video but I don't think he expected to be the hero instead of the heckler xD
Love watching your videos and I can't wait for you to come back to Toronto - sorry I missed you here last time but your show was scheduled for the same day as FanExpo!
Dude. Your comment at 10:17 to the 'cry for help guy' - You rock, Steve.
I love that Steve can be both ruthless and the kindest and caring person in the world.
Your openers are always freakin' hilarious to the point of (almost) stealing the show! I love that.
Watched this whole thing just to see absolutely nobody get punched. Feelsbadman
great clip, and bless the camerawoman for continuing to film as long as she could! also are avoiding touring in texas or am i just bad at checking the schedule regularly
Thanks Jarrett, Steve, and Andrew
Wow...and then he follows up with the "Cry for Help guy"....Steve H., you are a great person....
I saw the headline, and as soon as you said Seattle immediately I was NOT surprised at all.😂🤣
The best, still laughing, totally enjoy your videos,thank you for the laughs.
That was such a nice statement at the end there
I went to a hardcore punk gig in Seattle and the crowd was more chill there than at your show. Seattle's a funny town.
Last show I saw at The Neptune, pre-pandemic, was Baby Metal and The Hu and there was a lot less punching.
Punk shows have always been non-violent, at least back in the 80s in Seattle. That was punk's whole ethos. The worst thing that ever happened to me was having a stage diver land on me when I wasn't paying attention. People caught him but one of his combat boots got me in the face. I even remember people stop dancing to look for someone's lost glasses or shoe.
@@jayfrank1913 It reminded me of the behavior in my local punk scene up in Canada.
@@rustyvonhammerdown9054 I'm glad to hear it's still that way. I went to shows in Chicago, D.C., New York and Ohio back in the day and it was the same. I never dressed as a punk (more like a hippie) and never felt unwelcome.
The only time it got out of hand is when some drunk asshole showed up who thought slam dancing was an excuse to injure people. They were usually "gently" escorted to the exit and "politely" tossed onto the sidewalk.
I bet the cry for help guy is crying with gratitude Steve.
He would have loved you mentioning him!
Maybe .. he could be a special guest at your next performance?
Wow! The open violence nowadays is so pathetic in this country. It's the go to thing no matter what. I know it's not new but just seems to be more. Anyhoo, great jokes and comebacks! Loved it all (except the person getting punched; which I hope they convict the trash that did it).
Really enjoy your work, Steve! Thanks for sharing!
I liked at the end how you reached out to the cry for help guy from a person that suffers from depression and anxiety a lot of the time and finds it hard to manage i found that part really touching a heart warming thank you, did he get back to you in the end by the way? x i will sign up to your Patreon in the new year when i have some money to spare.
New title: "Cameraman shakes camera." You will never see a woman getting punched, because she's holding the camera. 10:10
That's why I reported the video as spam.
oh, so it didn't happen because it was the camera person who got punched?
Damn security sucks balls if they can’t get jabba the hut out within a minute or two.
Great choice in Shakespeare, Steve. I heard the question and thought, Othello, Bernstein Iago is a great villain.
I've been a bouncer for around 30 years, and the length of time it took to remove her makes my brain hurt.
Great video. Can't wait for your 12/20 show in the 'Burgh!!
This was epic... more of this! lol
It was a great show! The place was Packed and everyone, well almost everyone, had a spectacular time!
Never play that venue again what absolutely weak security. Imagine if someone actually started something dangerous they would be totally ineffective
I laughed so hard, I pissed myself!!! I think I need Depends when watching your videos... I was born on Capital Hill in Seattle. Now I live just north of Seattle and it sure has changed a lot in 56 years! I love watching Andrew so grown up. I'm still a big fan of his daddy. Take care!!!
I love your content man
Steve is so amazing! That was really cool when he said he appreciated him being there. What a cool guy!
Thanks for being a kind, generous, and fucking hilarious man. Do your worst... and best. Best wishes Steve!
You guys are frigging hilarious.
I still want the full story of what the hell that stir up was about
This was fricken hilarious! 🤣
Steve you are a class act. Can't wait to see you next time you come to town!
The traffic comment, sooooo accurate
Camera lady got punched because the bouncers/security are bad at their job and didn't just physically remove the person immediately after she refused to go. Better yet, they should have asked her to leave while she was disrupting other patrons during the act(s), and if she refused then, just called the police and have them remove her and trespass her so that if she returned, she'd be arrested.
You handle these situations very well - your a very funny man - take care - stay safe.
I’m so curious of how this goes from Othello to a woman getting punched in the face 😂
The cry for help guy sounded serious. Hope he's getting help.
So did they ask her how the knuckle sammich tasted? lol
OMG! Steve, I am new to... well you... lol. I hope you see this, while being hilarious you also just surprised me in a world that I thought had no surprises left in it. The ending of this Video, where you "reach out" to your audience member, goose bumps and tears. If you are ever in Springfield MO this fan would love to buy you a steak dinner. Thank you for sharing your gift.
My favorite thing about you is your genuinely do care about people!!
5:07 PREZACTLY lol
What the hell? Were the bouncers just DISCUSSING with the hecklers the POSSIBILITY of their leaving?
The problem with the security is that they were trying to negotiate with a hostile fan. You don’t talk to them, you don’t negotiate, you remove them, period. They can say they’re peace outside to the closed doors
Whilst I love the fact that Steve called out to the man who says he needed help, is a comedy show the place to do this? Is the situation for men in general this bad that their desperation to be heard is only available at shows such as this? Heaven help us.
Actually I think it might be. But as a female that has been quite down and out at times, I will clam up but if someone asks I will sometimes answer truly but then act if it's just a joke. So I love Steve's reaction there and the extra note at the end. For someone like me it made me feel very seen.
love the shout out to the need help guy - that is the good stuff man
I have so much respect for you actually caring enough to say something about the cry for help guy. Most people in your position don’t care.
I was glad there was no heckling at the Portland show. It was awesome!
The Jesus Computer doesn't come with Times New Roman.
Moses Computer is all emojis
Damnit! I can't believe I missed a Portland show yet again!
One of these days, I'll get my shit together. Or not, lol.
I hope the videographer pressed charges
You go to comedy to get the mental health treatment that therapists can't.
I hope that I can catch a show sometime! 🇨🇦
You had a great appearance on "The Honeydew" podcast this week!!
Brilliant!
I’m glad the people in the video were wearing masks
You are very funny thank you!
Steve, I regret not going and getting an usher or security when that drunk **** kept talking. It was literally right behind my head and I don’t think she even heard me tell her to shut up since I didn’t want to disrupt the show myself. Two wrongs don’t make a right, even if three lefts do.

wish you came to northern CA
Sadly, some venues have such a hands-off policy that people who are actively disrupting the show and causing problems can't be dealt with until a fight breaks out. So you have to "talk them out" and you result in shit like this.
It's a dogshit policy
@@pickledjester Oh, entirely agreed. Which is why I didn't work there long.
5:37 That's the future of comedy right there.
Rivers was so fucking good during this Q&A just some funny ass quick retorts
I know, right? I'd pay just to see him. Dude was quick!
Hey Steve, probably won't see this but I regret that you're show in Seattle got so wild. It really is a cool place around here and I promise most of us are pretty chill.
And thanks for saying you hope 'cry for help guy' is doing alright. That's really cool of you dude. :)
The guy who wants help was going to a don Rickles show, and then he heard the news and decided on Hofstetter
