Tiffany Haddish Blames ‘Alcohol Poisoning’ for Infamous Bomb
Tiffany Haddish said she has a good explanation for her disastrous performance at a Miami comedy show that immediately went viral on YouTube and left people who already didn’t like her grinning from ear to ear.
The actress and comedian opened up about what was going on behind the scenes in a new interview on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast. Haddish said that she was “very sick,” right before she went on stage. “I was not my regular self,” she said on the podcast. “I was definitely very sick. I had alcohol poisoning. A part of me wants to say somebody drugged me, but who’s the somebody? It’s probably me,” she conceded.
In clips taken the night of the Miami show, Haddish can be seen forgetting her lines and losing her train of thought on stage. “I remember I wanted to talk about some stuff,” she says in the video, adding “I can’t remember none of it,” as she seems to babble to try and fill the time. “This’ll be the only time you’ll ever see me like this,” she concludes, promising the crowd she’ll never bomb that hard again.
