'I felt shocked': Comedian on beer-throwing incident

STORY: A clip of the performance shows Elias, 33, asking her audience for questions. One person wanted to know if she had voted for former President Donald Trump. In an interchange with the heckler, Elias said she voted for his rival, Joe Biden.

Shortly afterwards a beer can was thrown at Elias onstage. Elias then picks up the beer can and drinks it while the audience cheers.

"I felt shocked. I felt a lot of adrenaline," she said in an interview with Reuters. "I was telling myself to breathe. There weren't a whole lot of thoughts going through my head to be honest."

Elias said she has noticed a shift in the atmosphere during her sets in the last couple of years.

“I mean look at our country right now. We have a huge gun problem, like mass shootings happen everywhere, so I think in general, everybody in this country is a little bit on edge,” she continued.

“I just think we’re all kind of in danger."
