"So I picked on one of them and he got up on stage and put me into a headlock."But everyone in the room was laughing because they thought it was a 'bit' - and, when I caught sight of the bouncers on the door, they were laughing as well."The comedian added that he remembers feeling "quite vulnerable" and described the situation as "scary"."So they (the security) wouldn’t have come to my aid and that is slightly the problem with comedians.
