(UPDATE: Oct. 30 @ 12:43 pm) – A representative from the Kelowna Community Theater has responded to NowMedia with regards to a fight that broke out at a comedy show Friday night.
The representative said that security was able to intervene quickly after a fight broke out among a few patrons. Fortunately, once they were removed, Steve-O’s comedy show was able to carry on as normal.
“We are aware that an altercation occurred at Kelowna Community Theater last night in advance of the second show starting,” said the City of Kelowna in a statement.
“We don’t condone behavior of this nature, especially at our Community Theatre. We believe this to be an isolated incident and is not reflective of our theater audiences.”
The Kelowna RCMP has yet to issue a statement about the incident that took place between a small group of audience members.
(Original story: Oct. 30 @ 9:02 am) – Several people were involved in a fight at a comedy show hosted by the Kelowna Community Theater Friday night.
‘Jackass’ star Steve-O was in town performing two comedy shows at the theater as a part of his ‘Bucket List’ tour.
However, the night quickly turned into a violent fiasco after a brawl broke out amongst several audience members.
A video posted to a Kelowna Facebook group has gathered more than 150 comments with many detailing what went down at the show.
A few people who attended the show said that the brawl broke out about 20 minutes before Steve-O’s second show at 10 pm.
The video, which has also been posted to YouTube, shows two men fighting each other while a woman is seen assaulting several people in the row behind her.
Attendees commented on the social media post saying chaos broke out before security guards were able to step in and remove the disruptive group of people from the theatre.
NowMedia has reached out to the Kelowna RCMP and KCT for more information on the rowdy night.
