Joel Sanders is assaulted after a show in Johnson City

[alanmdrop]

Joel Sanders is one of the most generous comedians around partly because he does not have an enormous ego. He puts his audience first. One inconsiderate audience member can ruin a show for an entire paying audience. Management should intervene and not leave the entertainer to double as security. This clip from Joel serves an educational purpose. As comedians we try to anticipate the many things that can go wrong with a show. This adds to that catalogue of information. Thanks for sharing.

My husband and I were at this show. Having seen him in New Jersey a few years before, we drove from Hendersonville, NC especially to see Joel. As paying customers, we were appalled by how the night was run. Everything described on this film is accurate - the lighting and sound were awful, the TV's were left on & there was a ton of disrespectful conduct from people sat at the back which the staff on hand made no effort to address.

This dude is a jackass...he bleeped out the part where he told the customer fuck you for whispering to the waitress! Basically this moron thought he was running the show and he wasnt! Holiday Inn paid him, he didnt pay Holiday INN!!! What kind of comedian puts this on here? Not very professional DUDE! Go the fuck back to London!

"What kind of comedian puts this on here?"

The same kind who thinks it's worth exposing xenophobes ("Go the fuck back to London."). I thought 'To Kill A Mockingbird' was set in Georgia.

Nothing was bleeped.

Incidentally, I did not think I was running the show. On this particular night, no-one was running the show and that was the problem.

I completely understand where your comeing from. I live in this shithole Johnson City. I am 23 and have never lived anywhere else. But, if I had a chance to move I would, simply because of the way things like this are handled by our so called law inforcement. I want to apologize to you on behalf of the people of Johnson City who actually have some sense..
