Astonishing moment irate Spanish father punches comedian in the face on stage for making outrageous ‘sexualised’ joke about his three-month-old son

This is the shocking moment a Spanish comedian was attacked mid-show by a father who accused him of making predatory comments about his three-month old son. 

Jaime Caravaca, a Spanish comedian who was in the middle of performing a monologue during a Madrid show on Monday night, was suddenly interrupted by an enraged father, who walked on stage and dealt him a brutal blow to the head. 

The attacker, named as Alberto Pugilato, was heard saying: ‘Those pedophilic comments about my son…say them to my face…you piece of trash…now!’. 

The comments far-right activist Pugilato was referring to were made by hard-left comedian Caravaca the day before on social media.

Pugilato had posted a photo of him and his young son on X, with a caption saying ‘Pride and joy’ – before Caravaca then posted: ‘No one will be able to avoid the possibility of [your son] being gay’ and that when he is older he will become sick of ‘sucking black d***”.

Days later Pugilato turned up at the comedian’s show to confront him – with audience members trying to defuse the situation. 

‘What were you saying, huh? That my son was going to eat c***? He’s three-months-old. Trash. Now what? Say it to my face…say it to my face now.’ 

Pugilato then threw a punch at Caravaca, sending the comedian to the corner of the stage

Cornered, Caravaca watches in shock as Pugilato calls him out for making ‘paedophilic’ comments about his three-month old son

‘What were you saying, huh? That my son was going to eat c***? He’s three-months-old. Trash. Now what? Say it to my face…say it to my face now,’ Pugilato was heard saying in a video that has gone viral in Spain

An unidentified man tries to interfere, to which Pugilato responds: ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m just a father who is defending his child. He has made sexualising comments about my three-month-old son.’

He then points to Caravaca and says: ‘That has its consequences’, before calling him a ‘clown’. He then smacks him in the face again and walks off stage. 

Pugilato has since commented on the attack, telling MultiCanal Radio, ‘I have been very uneasy, with a feeling that I have not had in my life, very unpleasant and until I have had it in front of me I have not found peace’. 

The video, which surfaced on X, has spread like wildfire, with several quick to defend the father. One user said ‘don’t mess with kids’, while another commented: ‘not very funny now, is it?’, in reference to the punches received by the comedian.

Others defended the comedian’s right to free speech. 

Pugilato’s motivation for punching the comedian were related to a comment made by Caravaca the day before on X, after the father had posted a photo with his son. In the comments, Caravaca said the baby was gay, and said would become sick from ‘sucking black c***’

But at the heart of Monday night’s tussle is a culture war.

Pugilato, a member of a self-titled music band, is also known for his involvement in far-right movements, according to Spanish newsoutlet, El Mundo. He often shares messages against illegal immigration and the LGBT community.

Caravaca is his polar opposite, known in Spain for his left-wing stance and his LGBT activism.

‘He (Pugilato) is not capable of understanding that his son could be gay,’ another X user commented. 

Following the attack, Pugilato took to X to post a picture of his dinner: a plate of ham and steak, captioned: ‘Savouring a job well done’.
