Laugh Factory "Ban" a Joke, Wayans to Perform

Damon WayansJust a month after he was banned for three months from the Laugh Factory for violating the club's ban on the N-word, Damon Wayans is set to return to the stage tonight, apparently getting a "Get Out of Ban Free" card from owner Jamie Masada.

The N-word embargo was imposed after the Michael Richards incident on November 17. In December, Wayans' publicist told TMZ about the ban after Damon used it 16 times on stage and was fined and banned.

Wayans is billed as part of an "All Star Week." No word on what material he has planned for the gig.

Calls to the Laugh Factory were not returned.

2. Blacks, Latinos, and their double standards. Well don't expect anyone to take you seriously about how "outraged" you are the next time a white person says nigger or spic to you, about you, or in a comedy act.

3. That man can say anything he wants. It is always funny and never at anyone's expense. We should lighten up a bit. What Michael Richards did was wrong and directed in a different way. I LOVE YOU DAMON!!!

10. To suckit....the day white people hung black men, women and children in the name of nigger was the day you people have no rights to make a joke about it or anything else for that matter.How on earth is that so hard to understand...The day your people went to every continent there is to kill, steal and spread your diseases is the day that the rest of us latino, blacks and everyone else outside the white race made it unacceptable for your so called jokes...NOTICE how blacks and latinos make fun of each other with no problems all the time. You inbreads notice everything but the obvious!!!! Oh and by the way I'm not black or latino nor am I married to one so save the stupid shit
It's actually kind of funny that I had to say this HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
For the record I'm Asian and proud bitches!!!!!!!!

11. Re: #2 ...next time a white person says nigger or spic to you, about you, or.... You pussies never say it face to face only on blog or on stage where there is security (for your pussy asses) I'd have more respect for your racist ways if you could only back it up.... So if you could only grow balls a lil' bigger than that lil' dick you will see OUTRAGE personally. I don't understand why everytime I read blog here there is alway an idiot like you posting. Go grown some balls better yet we ALL know what needs to grow now suckthatlildick
