Hey i can't be left out! I was molested and manhandled by Sean Dillingham and then he told me i could come back to the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale ONLY if i sucked his stinky dick. See if this story seems familiar:
I was on a little tour through AZ with another male comic who was the headliner. We got down to the gig in Scottsdale, met Sean and went to the hotel, got ready and did the gig. I was new still. Under 5 years you're still new and I'd never been on the road like this.
After the gig that pudge fuck Sean pulls me into this little room off the showroom. He grabbed me and put me up against the wall and forcibly kissed me. Gross. I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. I pushed him away and said "nooo... no no. "
He said, "I've been looking at those red lips all night. And your tits... " i said "what?!" He says "come you can't look like that, tell jokes like that and expect men to not want some."
Then he dragged me into the showroom and had me sit down. There he proceeds to tell me how his wife wont suck his dick and come on if I do it I can come back to the club. He grabbed my hand HARD, and shoved it on his clammy, stubby penis.
I yanked my hand away and I stood up. I said "I don't know what's gonna happen to me but I promise you I'll never be so desperate that I need to come back to the Comedy Spot in fucking Scottsdale." And i walked out.
Once I got back to the hotel I IMMEDIATELY told the comedian I was on tour with what happened. He sat there, totally stunned at what I told him. Then finally he said "wow. Ok but... I'm already booked to come back... you're not mad right i mean I have to work."
I was defeated. My whole life no one gave a shit about what a man did to me and this was just normal. Go fucking figure! I said, "yeah of course, you have to work." He had a family to support. Like i didn't. The next morning I asked the comic to take me to the hospital.
Which luckily was just accross the street. Turns out I had a severe infection in my abdomen for weeks. They got me in and put me on ivs I was there for over a week. The comic stayed with me until my husband was coming that night and i said he could go.
When I got back on my feet a month later i tried to tell as many comedians as I could about this dude and all I got was shrugs. That's the way it is. I swear to gods the only reason Sean Fucking Dillingham didn't end up in a prison cell was because i ended up in the hospital!
I've been a comedian for over 20 years now and this is just one story. This is the one story where I got physically assaulted. But there are lots more. Lots more times something shitty was said about my sexuality, unwanted advances from comics and audience members too.
I've been told "we can't book you cause there's already another chick on the show," I've been told i was too dirty while men more foul and yes LESS FUNNY got work, they all told me to work clean and maybe shit like that thing with Sean wouldn't happen.
And now men are getting canceled for their shitty behavior. Believe me I'm happy to see it. Better now than never. I'm glad a lot of the younger women comedians coming up in the next few years will have a happier, more fulfilling experience.
But now I see women are being told which comics not to work with because they're creeps! And they're being judged for working dump clubs like the comedy spot. You know, i only told women comedians about Sean so they could bring a knife and raise their rates --
not to keep them away from a gig. We women already have a tough enough time getting on the stage, fighting the men and the ass grabs to get up there, dont tell us where and with whom to work, too. Just give us a heads up and get the fuck out of our way!
