Aziz Ansari returns to stand-up after sex misconduct allegations

Aziz Ansari is doing stand-up again.

The award-wining actor and comedian performed multiple sets in NYC this past week — marking the first time he’s taken the stage since being hit with sexual misconduct allegations back in January.

Ansari appeared at The Comedy Cellar in Manhattan from Wednesday to Sunday, according to Brooklyn Vegan.

While he wasn’t advertised, the 35-year-old performed during the club’s Mother’s Day show and did several other surprise sets. He reportedly covered a wide range of topics — including millennials, Starbucks and racism.

It’s unclear if his sexual misconduct allegations ever came up.

“I saw Aziz Ansari at the Comedy Cellar last night and if I told people this a year ago they’d be like ‘cool’ but now they’re like ‘oh,'” wrote one Twitter user.

The accusations against Ansari surfaced back in January after an anonymous 23-year-old woman came forward and gave a firsthand account to Babe.net of what allegedly happened

She claimed the “Master of None’’ star ignored numerous “cues” indicating  she “wasn’t interested” in him following a date they had — and then proceeded to take her clothes off anyway to engage in oral sex.

The woman said Ansari also shoved his fingers down her throat repeatedly, while simultaneously touching her genitals.

“The move he kept doing was taking his two fingers in a V-shape and putting them in my mouth,” the woman claimed, dubbing it “the claw.”

Ansari has denied the allegations, saying: “We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.”

The alleged victim said she chose to come forward after spotting Ansari at the Golden Globes with a “Time’s Up” pin, which she thought was hypocritical.
