This wannabe comedian sure puts the "punch" in "punchline."

A comic at an open mic recently clocked the host after the host tried to remove him from the stage for violating the no-cursing policy (note the NSFW language which started the whole brouhaha).

Criminal assault charges were filed. The comic wannabe heavyweight champ has a criminal record, including felony charges. He's not so great with the words and he likes to use his hands, so maybe he ought to consider a career in physical comedy.
