Comedian Adam Newman performed at a stand-up act at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre when he was interrupted by policemen arresting a man.

He joked, "Well, this is the first time this is happening. Guys, this is part of the act. I do this every show." He continued, "I have no idea what's happening right now. You guys couldn't have waited until after my set?"

The police officer said, "Shut your mouth, all right?"
