Insult Comic
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
An insult comedian works his way around a comedy-club audience, joking about their appearances and promising equal treatment. He hesitates when a burn survivor in a wheelchair asks for a turn. The patron repeatedly encourages him, while the comedian searches for a safe target. Once he finally delivers a personal insult, the man breaks down and the rest of the room turns against the performer.
