No laughing matter: Hillary Clinton campaign 'demands comedy club takes down video mocking her marriage, Monica Lewinsky and pantsuits
Hillary Clinton's campaign has demanded a comedy club remove a video of stand-up comics mocking the presidential contender, its owner claims.
Laugh Factory boss Jamie Masada said he received a call from an aide for the Democratic frontrunner telling him to take down a three-minute recording posted on the club's website and
.
The video shows five comedians roasting Clinton, with jokes about her relationship with Bill Clinton, the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the former Secretary of State going through the menopause.

Mr Masada told Judicial Watch that a Clinton aide phoned him up and asked for the names and phone numbers of all the comedians in the clip. It is not clear why they would ask for the comedians' names as they are included in the video.
'They threatened me,' Mr Masada said. 'I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.
'He said the video was disgusting and asked who put me up to this.' Mr Masada said the aide who phoned was a 'prominent' individual but refused to name them.
In the short video, believed to have been taken earlier this month, the comedians address Clinton as though she is in the room.
The clip - titled Hillary Clinton vs. the First Amendment - starts off tamely, with stand-ups Mike Marino and Dom Irrera making uncontroversial jokes about the former First Lady.
But then comedian Tiffany Haddish takes to the stage, saying she would love it if Clinton became President, but then divorce her husband Bill and marry a 'first b***h' instead of having a First Husband.
She also briefly mentions Monica Lewinsky as she continues to lay in to the Democrat.
Comic Greg Fitzsimmons is next up, mocking Clinton's appearance and the clothes she wears for not being feminine.
Fitzsimmons also attempts to make a joke about Clinton's age and her going through the menopause, bringing shocked gasps from the audience at the Hollywood venue.
Finally Brian Holtzman is seen mocking Clinton's mother's multi-national heritage and jokingly suggesting she may have slept with men from different countries.
The club is popular on the comedy circuit and has been performed at by a number of famous stand-ups, including the likes of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Letterman, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, Louis C.K. and Robin Williams.

What a humorless bitch. And just savor the irony that she’s whining about a YouTube video.
