Another Second City Cast Member Quits After Offensive Audiences (He blames Trump!)
CBS Chicago ^ | 10/13/2016 | Steve Miller

CHICAGO (CBS) — A fourth member of Second City’s ETC revue quit after multiple occurrences of offensive behavior from audiences.

33-year-old Peter Kim told WBBM that audiences here in Chicago and across the country where he has toured, seem to feel emboldened by the no-holds-bars, speak-your-mind style of Donald Trump.

“I really think he gave people carte blanche to act and behave hateful,” Kim said. Kim said audiences have gotten more abusive in the past year and has heard people use the ‘f’ word, alluding to a slur against gays.

“The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was a man was sitting next to a Hispanic couple,” Kim said. “We asked a question to another lady, completely different lady, we said, ‘Hey, ma’am, what is something small that pisses you off, like getting stuck in traffic.'”

The man, unsolicited, screamed out, ‘Sitting too close to a Mexican,’ while sitting next to a Hispanic couple.

Kim said there was another time he felt physically threatened by a man who got too close to the stage.

Think of what Don Rickles would have done to him!

I could barely listen to 5 mins of this guy on youtube, not funny at all. He claims it was the rude remark of an audience member towards another audience member who was hispanic that finally set him off, but I bet it was hecklers calling him an unfunny fag that really did it. (he's gay)

Kim said audiences have gotten more abusive in the past year and has heard people use the ‘f’ word, alluding to a slur against gays.

I've been to some of these so called Second City Revues. They're terrible. They're not funny. Almost all of them revert to pee pee ka ka stuff. The ones that end up quitting aren't up to the task of stand up.

In short, Folks. Stand up is tough if you're not funny.

The essence of good humor is truth. As Will Rogers put it. “I don’t tell jokes. I just report what I read in the newspapers.”

“The man, unsolicited, screamed out, ‘Sitting too close to a Mexican,’ while sitting next to a Hispanic couple.”

I’m calling BS. This washed up spud is a liar and his lie is being repeated by an untrustworthy source: CBS.

Most of us are fed up with flagging comedians going to “OK, I’ll insult Republicans—that always works!”
That Amy Shumer fellow’s got to be one of the worst, working a political zeitgeist born before she was hatched.
They can’t comment in their acts on what they read in the news because it simply isn’t reported or because it’s bad news for “progressives”.
So all we get from them are angry public statements like “Trump is bad!” and “His supporters are deplorable.” good little tape recorders that comedians are today.

Well that’s just terrible, the guy should’ve said “teabaggers” like the left says against the Tea Party, that would’ve been acceptable, I gather from past history.

You make a good point-they’re not funny, they’re angry, so they use slurs against conservatives, Christians, whites, white males-and their leftist audiences laugh because they’re angry and humor-deficient too.

I’ll bet a buck that the guy sitting next to the Mexican was a good buddy and they both enjoyed the hell out of it.

Probably. There definitely had to be some kind of back story behind it.

Does anybody think Chicagoans needed Donald Trump to teach them how to be rude?

Poor little snowflake. Just had to be a Trump-voter, it would never be liberal that has been told his whole life that he’s free to let it fly anytime, anywhere as long as it’s a liberal viewpoint.

Since most of today's PC comedians make their living offending non-PC groups (and I never heard of this whining loser) I figured I'd check youtube to see why he's so holier than thou. Here's the 1st video I found:
OPENERS: Peter Kim
After he opens with asking all the white people in the audience to identify themselves and then moves on to tell how is a gay Korean whose parents came to this country so he "could have opportunities they couldn't have - like giving blowjobs in the bathroom."

That's as far as I could or needed to go before killing the video.

Nowadays they have to run to their safe place and cry.

Second City has always had performers like that. Spoiled little hippy wannabees. I saw them in Toronto in 2001 and they spent half the show bashing Charlton Heston.
