About The Comedian
Jackie Burke, an aging comic icon, has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent himself and his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the former television character he once played. Already a strain on his younger brother and his wife, Jackie is forced to serve out a sentence doing community service for accosting an audience member. While there, he meets Harmony, the daughter of a sleazy Florida real estate mogul, and the two find inspiration in each other.

He told waiting audience members: " There's No Other way to say it, I can't Get In . "
He Said he had let staff know he was there an hour before finding The Door still locked, but said: " It's no-one's fault. "
On a video he posted on Instagram The Comedian is seen in The Theatre bar explaining The Situation to his audience, who were also unable to get to their seats.
" We could do it here, but you paid for a seat and you paid to be in a room resembling a theatre so I just wanted you to know, in case it looks like I'm very complacent, just drinking at The Bar , yes I Am drinking at The Bar , but I'm taking The Situation as seriously as you are, " he says.
