Comedian Eliot Preschutti has sued Pauly Shore and the Comedy Store in West Hollywood for an alleged assault.
Pauly Shore and his club the Comedy Store are being sued by a comedian who claims he was assaulted by the club’s security in December. Plaintiff Eliot Preschutti filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. According to legal documents reviewed by The Times, the alleged incident occurred around midnight on Dec. 15, 2023, when Preschutti says he forgot to close out his bar tab before leaving the club.
Preschutti also claims that the bouncer who threw him to the ground shouted, “This is for Pauly!” In the lawsuit, Preschutti says that his association with the Comedy Store dates back to 1999 and that he had past dealings with Shore and his mother, Mitzi. Neither Shore nor the Comedy Store’s general manager immediately replied to The Times’ request for comment. Sheriff's deputies responded at the scene, detaining Preschutti until around 8:30 a.m.
