Chris Redd Breaks Silence on Gory Details of Comedy Cellar Attack, Says Face Was ‘Gushing Blood’
Chris Redd was supposed to be a guest on this past week’s episode of The Last Laugh podcast, but he canceled at the last minute due to a personal matter. And as I told him when we finally connected for our interview on Wednesday, it wasn’t until TMZ broke the news the next morning that he’d been brutally attacked outside of the Comedy Cellar that I found out why.
“So did I!” the comedian and former SNL cast member joked, calling the incident a “surprise party of one fist.”
In an Instagram message over the weekend, Redd, whose first big hour-long stand-up special Why Am I Like This? premieres on HBO Max today, thanked fans for all the messages of love, the jokes, and the concern,” and said he was “OK and healing fast.” He also disputed the reports that the unidentified assailant snatched the chain off his neck.
