Stand-up comedian and actor Aziz Ansari has returned to the stage following backlash regarding a sexual misconduct allegation. The 'Master of None' creator performed multiple sets in New York City, though they were not advertised.
One user took to Twitter to share news of the surprise set. “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,'” they wrote.

The controversial accusation against Ansari surfaced in January, when an anonymous 23-year-old woman wrote about her alleged unwanted sexual encounter on the website Babe.net.
Though it has not been confirmed whether or not Ansari discussed the allegations during his stand-up performances, Page Six reports he covered his usual topics of millennials, Starbucks, and racism.
