Aziz Ansari is still here, everyone. And he’s not bowing down anytime soon.

According to an audience member who attended his surprise appearance at the Comedy Cellar on Tuesday night: “They lost it when he came out… It was pretty awesome, he was hilarious.”

According to Page Six, a rep from the Comedy Cellar said that, “The applause that he’s getting now is more enthusiastic than he used to get. It’s a convulsive show of support for Aziz and an indication that the audience feels what he went through was unfair to him.”

Earlier this year, an anonymous woman wrote on Babe.net that Aziz ignored “non-verbal cues” and that she “wasn’t interested” in getting physical during a date gone wrong. That post later become compounded by the #MeToo movement.
