A mic-cut shortened Hannibal Buress’ performance at Loyola University Chicago on Saturday night after the comedian cracked jokes about child molestation in the Catholic Church.

While performing at the Catholic university, the “Broad City” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” actor projected an email from Loyola on stage, which prohibited him from addressing sexual assault or cursing on stage.

...While the university’s administration may not have approved of Buress’ joke, many Loyola Chicago students took to Twitter in support of the comedian, criticizing the school for apparently cutting him off.

“Loyola just cut Hannibal’s mic. This is ridiculous. We want Hannibal,” one user tweeted.

1. Had they never watched his stand up before booking him?

Because he runs pretty raw. And he's hilarious.

Edit to add: Loyola has every right to do this. I'm not saying it's censorship. But they look like idiots for a) booking him and b) being so thin-skinned.

2. Agree on all counts.

Too funny.

If the audience is laughing at the man cracking jokes about your associations with child molesters, cutting his mic will remove all shadow of a doubt.

Well played, Loyola. Well played.
