Anthony Jeselnik was a no show at the Comedy Store last night. Is this normal?

I went to The Comedy Store last night to see a show that had a lineup of about 8 comedians, including Anthony Jeselnik. He’s been my favorite comedian since I was a teenager and I finally had a chance to see him.

The show went great except for one problem, Anthony didn’t even show up. A bunch of local talent filled his spot in the lineup. I’m super disappointed because he was the main name on the lineup, and they put his picture in all the ads. And he was by far the most famous out of all the comedians listed. Everybody in the audience was complaining because most of us were there to see him.

There wasn’t even an explanation or announcement that he was no longer going to be there. I feel like I got bait and switched. Is this normal in the world of comedy?
