Last night a patron jumped on stage while comedian Mark Normand was in the middle of a set. The offender was quickly escorted off stage by security but, curiously Mark was also rushed off stage after by security soon after. Employees of the club

What new movie? He only has Mr. and Mrs. Smith being promoted.

Wow, you're right. I just saw a similar comment in the NYC subreddit -

"so it seems Hi_Hi_ is claiming responsibility.

Hi_Hi_ is the account name on Instagram

Searched for new shows coming out soon with hi_hi_ after them and saw this in a Vanity Fair article for the new Mr & Mrs. Smith show:

"Glover and Erskine play two wannabe spies partnered up by a mysterious entity they nickname “Hihi” (that’s how he greets them in his messages). They are given new names (John and Jane Smith), a marriage license, and a spectacular Manhattan townhouse that would make Nancy Meyers’s characters jealous. Then they are sent forth into all sorts of glamorous locales to trail, eavesdrop on, and sometimes murder strangers for unknown reasons."

So possibly some shitty guerrilla marketing for the show?

What the fuck.

Would this be from Amazon's team? Because they must have officially lost their minds.

I think whatever they had planned as the stunt got messed up and that's why the producer at the end decided to just pull the plug on it. I can't imagine this is what they were going for.

Maybe the guy who jumped on stage over heard the two girls discussing whatever the prank was going to be got freaked out and tried to get away from them by getting on stage. The girls followed him to explain to security what was going on. The comedians security maybe overheard and decided to just get him out of there. Which caused the crowd to panic so they couldn't continue with whatever they had planned and just told everyone to leave.

That's my theory at least
