Adam Newman Gets Interrupted by NYPD During Stand-Up Set

Well, people often forget that the saying “lightning never strikes twice” actually goes “lightning never strikes the same place twice”. 

Adam Newman is figurative proof that lightning can strike twice in two different places. Last year, he found cocaine in the jacket pocket of a disruptive audience member last year and recently, was just stopped dead cold in the middle of a stand-up set to the NYPD bursting into UCB Chelsea. 

On top of that, Adam was apparently making a tape to submit to do a set on Conan. Honestly, it would be pretty great to see a late night set where the cops burst in and the comedian had to deal with it (real or rehearsed).
