Paul McCartney heckles Deon Cole

Deon Cole's comedy show at the Hollywood Improv on September 17 took a surprising turn when music legend Paul McCartney joined him on stage. Cole humorously attributed his rough set to being high, saying, 'I had to smoke, and that’s why this is happening,' while also expressing his frustration at the audience’s reception. McCartney, 82, added to the comedic atmosphere by jokingly acknowledging that some of Cole's material bombed, reminiscing about his own early days with The Beatles when audiences would throw pennies at them. Cole appreciated McCartney's presence, stating he preferred to 'bomb' in front of a smaller crowd rather than a large venue. The event coincided with the release of Cole's Netflix special, 'Deon Cole: Ok, Mister,' which quickly climbed the streaming charts. Cole later shared footage of the performance, expressing gratitude for McCartney's support during his set.
