Comedian Colin Mochrie got himself into major trouble as he lashed out at a fan who wanted an autograph.
Comedian Colin Mochrie Goes Viral After Hitting Fan With A Videotape On The Head
Being in the public eye is something that Colin is used to, given that he has had a career since the 1980s. While that may make him aware of the standards that he needs to adhere to in public, it can also have the counterproductive effect of becoming too much to deal with on occasions.
This looked to have happened here when Colin got involved in an altercation with a fan. In the footage here by TMZ, we can see that Colin hits the fan with a VHS tape on his head as he wanted to get it signed.
During this tussle, Colin grabbed the man’s arm, and the latter walked away. But before fans could get themselves worried over what Colin had been through, there was an innocent explanation to all of this.
It turns out that Colin was shooting something for his comedy show when the cameras caught the incident out of context. Therefore, to the naked eye, it looked as though something serious had occurred.
A representative for Colin confirmed as much: “Colin just happened to be shooting a sketch for an untitled tv pilot when the TMZ cameras caught him. There was no altercation whatsoever.”
Nevertheless, this did not stop people from having a field day on social media. Although some people suggested that the stunt was exaggerated, others could not help but see the funny side of it.
And it did have the impact of getting people hyped up about Colin’s return to the stage following the disruption caused by the pandemic. With that in mind, the comments were comedic in nature.
One person wrote: “He just wanted to touch his bald spot… and feel Colin’s memories,” while another stated: “The man filming this has a rather arresting appearance lol.”
Clearly, Colin still has a lot to show on the comedy circuit, given this latest stunt. And luckily for Colin and his fans, this was a spoof. Otherwise, he could have been involved in some serious trouble.
