A night of comedy took an unexpected turn Saturday at Mike Epp’s Detroit show when a heckler’s antics briefly stole the spotlight.
Epps was performing at the Fox Theatre when a woman arguing with security also turned her displeasure on the “Next Friday” star.
Video of the exchange captured the woman — who goes by Ms. Sally Walker on TikTok — arguing with the security guard and interrupting the 53-year-old’s set.
Taking to TikTok to share her version of events, Walker alleged someone else was sitting in her assigned $1,800 seats which sparked a heated exchange between her and theater staff. She claimed that her attempts to resolve the seating discrepancy were met with resistance from theater employees. She added that the situation escalated when security and law enforcement became involved at the request of theater staff.
Walker is heard on the video yelling, “I’m not going nowhere. You got my $300? You got my $300? Well, get the f—k on …”
She continued, “I’m not going no f—kin where cuz who going to give me my money? We pay $1,800 for seats and I don’t got no f—kin seat, so what y’all want to do? Somebody got my money,” she said in a video.
Epps laughed at first and said to the crowd, “She like Raven Symone. Her little ass is feisty,” as Walker continued to yell at him. “Hey, hey, hey, hey, I know you not about to f—k my show up right here with your little ghetto ass,” said Epps. “Y’all come get her ass outta here right now. Security! Yeah, this don’t make no f—king sense. Ain’t nobody scared of you.”
However, tensions mounted as theater staff intervened once again, prompting Walker to resist leaving the premises without a refund for her ticket. Despite the heated verbal exhange, the situation eventually de-escalated, with Walker deciding to leave after a discussion with a family member.
In her account, the woman asserted that law enforcement officials sided with her version of events, alleging discrepancies in the seating arrangements and expressing dissatisfaction with her overall experience at the theater.
