Comedian Cancelled Amid Reports of Wearing Shorts on Stage

Murfreesboro, TN — In what seems like a never-ending pattern in the world of entertainment, yet another comedian is facing accusations that threaten to derail his career permanently. Photos were recently leaked to the press of what appears to be local stand up comic Terrence Eisner wearing khaki shorts onstage at in open mic in 2014.

“This is just sad,” said former Eisner fan Rich Bruce. “I had such respect for him, ever since I heard his bit about peeing on old women off of bridges. Now I’m ashamed I ever wore a ‘Urine Trouble, Grandma’ t-shirt. He is beyond unprofessional. Show a little respect for your audience, you know?”

In an industry which is no stranger to scandal, Eisner’s alleged actions stand out as particularly shameful, leaving many longing for the old days of comedy, when one could attend a show, have a drink, and watch an entertainer make every woman in the room uncomfortable.

“I come to a stand up show to have a few laughs at the expense of those who are already marginalized and bullied, not to be exposed to the site of someone’s knees,” declared comedy patron Kevin Ginbell. “I mean, if we allow shorts, what’s next? Other things of little to no consequence, that are only the norm because of some outdated sense of fashion? Not on my watch!”

Several organizations are stripping Eisner of awards, and honors, like Phil’s Haha Shop, where Eisner was once awarded the coveted Making Rascism Funny Award. He has also had his photo removed from his once-revered performance at Transphobia-Palloza, ‘15.

Reached for comment, Eisner’s only comment was, “I have made grave mistakes in the past, and am truly sorry for anyone I may have hurt. I hope you will accept my apology and allow me to continue my pursuit of making people smile and laugh, and also my harassing of female comedians. That is what I love.”

While many would consider the discovery of once having worn shorts on stage a career-ending faux pas, Eisner is confident he has the lack of basic human decency to pull through and someday rejoin the comedy world.
