That's Not Funny

It takes a lot for a performer to be sued over a performance, but some guy named Katt Williams is being sued for not being so funny.
From the San Fran Chronicle: A Modesto man has sued comedian Katt Williams, saying hundreds of fans were disappointed by the performer's aborted performance earlier this month at Oakland's Oracle Arena when he allegedly took off his clothes and challenged people to fight.
The suit is the second to be filed in Alameda County Superior Court against Williams, whose onstage meltdown came two days after he was arrested for allegedly attacking an aspiring rapper on his tour bus outside a downtown Oakland hotel. He was later released with no charges filed.
The latest suit was filed Wednesday by Brian Herline, 35, who said he and other fans had expected Williams, who is also a rapper and actor, to perform on Nov. 16.
"Instead, after a short series of bizarre events onstage, in which Williams confronted a heckler, took his clothes off and attempted to fight at least three audience members, the 'act' abruptly ended after 10 minutes," the suit said. "In sum, Williams failed to perform."
Herline said he is seeking class-action certification on behalf of all audience members who "deserve their money back."  http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Comedian-hit-with-new-lawsuit-in-Oakland-4067937.php
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To prove to the possum it could actually be done!
