Comedian Kim Congdon reveals she was sexually assaulted by a fan at a New York show

Comedian Kim Congdon has said she was sexually assaulted by a fan who then “pretended to be blind” as she walked through the crowd at a stand-up show in New York City on Saturday.

Congdon had just finished her opening set for fellow comedian Joey Diaz at Sony Hall when the incident happened, she said. Deadline.

She also took to Twitter on Sunday, apologizing to all the fans who “watched me kick a guy a** after the show last night.” “He sexually assaulted me after my set (and boasted about it on the way out), ruining an otherwise perfect evening for me,” she wrote.

Congdon is known for Impractical Jokers, Stoned Science, her ‘This B**ch’ podcast and Broad Topicx on YouTube – as well as appearing on other major podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience.

Speaking to Deadline, she said the incident happened when she went to get her phone on a tripod “near the sound booth.” The route to her phone took her through the crowd, when she said the man “pricked my vagina.”

“When it happened, I was already walking the other way. When I turned around, he literally pretended to be blind,” she told the news channel.

It was like ‘Joey’ [Diaz] came on stage and a lot of people cheered and then the lights went out” that she was attacked, she said. Because it was dark, she said she had lost sight of the man, but site officials were able to find him later.

She identified the man and officials kicked him out of the room, she said.

She wrote on Twitter on Sunday: “If you saw me kick a guy after the show last night, I’m sorry. He sexually assaulted me after my set (and bragged about it when he left), ruining an otherwise perfect evening for me. I’m only tweeting this as a warning. I will wear from now on. The next one dies.’

Users of the social media platform have largely posted in support of Congdon, but after some seemingly tried to downplay the incident and sent her abusive messages, she reposted Monday to provide more details.

“I can’t believe I have to say this, but I wouldn’t tweet or make a fuss about someone accidentally letting me graze,” she wrote.

“I’m not out to catch or accuse anyone. This guy pricked my vagina twice, essentially trying to “finger” me through some leggings as I walked past him.

“It happened the second time I stepped off the stage in a sold out theater and in SECONDS he was gone in the dark crowd,” the comedian continued. “By the time they found him, the show was almost over and he didn’t care if he got kicked out because he said, ‘At least I got to touch Kim’s pussy.'”

In another Tweet, she wrote: “This was an eye-opening experience that hurt me, but made me sad for victims who have been through so much worse.”

In response to the response to her original tweet, she wrote, “The response to my latest tweet is why women don’t tell their stories,” while sharing a screenshot of one of the messages she received.

She told Deadline that the incident happened on the same night of another New Jersey incident where beer was thrown at Ariel Elias at a comedy club.

These are just the latest in a string of high-profile attacks on comedians in recent months, starting with Will Smith punching Chris Rock at the Oscars on March 27.

On May 4, Dave Chappelle was attacked at the Hollywood Bowl by a man with a replica pistol with a knife attached, while in April rapper TI stormed onto the stage at an open mic night in Atlanta and grabbed the microphone of a female comedian after she put forward allegations of sexual assault against him.

Another strip, Sampson McCormick, was slammed during his show at Win-River Resort & Casino in Redding, on March 23. He said the attack came after he joked at the expense of a female heckler, causing a man to beat him.

Congdon told Deadline that she’s been doing stand-up comedy for a decade, dealing with “stalkers and everything.” After Saturday’s incident, she said her next thought was, “This probably won’t be the last time.”
