Madonna takes a swipe at Trump during surprise stand-up performance at a New York comedy club

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Madonna surprised the audience at a New York comedy club over the weekend when she took the stage for a surprise stand-up gig, leaving the audience stunned with her bold, expletive-filled set and a swipe at newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump.

The 66-year-old 'Material Girl' singer, known for her unpredictable antics, was in a playful mood on Saturday, January 25, when she appeared at the famous Comedy Cellar.

Madonna surprises audience with stand-up debut

Madonna's close friend comedian Amy Schumer escorted her to the venue, but she didn’t come just to watch. Instead, she decided to try out new material on the 150-capacity crowd, catching everyone off guard.

A source close to the performance shared details with The US Sun, saying, "She was brought to the club by Amy. She did a full 30-minute set."

While stand-up comedy isn’t typically Madonna’s forte, she gave it her all, though the audience took some time to warm up to the surprise appearance. The source added, "She did well enough, but the audience was so stunned it was Madonna that it took them the entire set to warm up to her."

Despite the initial shock of having the iconic pop star perform, Madonna managed to get laughs throughout the set, particularly when she dropped the F-bomb. "She didn't do as well as you'd think she would, she got laughs every time she dropped F-bomb, because just hearing Madonna curse is funny," the insider shared.

One of the night's more memorable moments came when Madonna made a joke about President Donald Trump’s mass deportations.

"She also nailed a joke about how with all of these Trump deportations she's not going to have any staff left, which got some laughs, but really everyone was just so shocked she was there," the source said.

Madonna enjoys night out with boyfriend and Amy Schumer

Madonna appeared to have her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, with her at the comedy club and left the venue shortly after her performance. The source noted that she exited just 10 minutes after finishing her set.

Schumer shared a photo of herself and Madonna from the evening on her Instagram, showing the pair dressed in black outfits. In the snap, Madonna can be seen playfully attempting to peck Schumer on the cheek.

Madonna reposted the picture on her Instagram Stories, captioning it, “Last night was fun!! Thank you @amyschumer.”

She also shared a photo of herself with Morris, tagging him in the post as well.

Madonna’s comedy debut follows her continued tendency to push boundaries, including a controversial AI-generated image of herself with Pope Francis in December.
