Chris Redd talked in depth for the first time about the unprovoked attack outside New York’s Comedy Cellar that left him bloodied and hospitalized.
No arrests have yet been made in the assault. “He hit me and he was gone,” Redd said. “I was just gushing blood so I couldn’t look around. It wasn’t really about the pain at that point, it was just so much blood. I was trying to figure out where he was and I couldn’t chase him down the street because there was blood.”
Redd was scheduled to perform a couple of shows that night at the Comedy Cellar and says he likely would have persevered through the night’s performances — joking he even attempted to enter the venue, post-attack — if not for the amount of blood. . “I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to talk about this shit.’ Now, I’m glad I waited, but that was my first thought.
