'He was a surprise guest at the end of the showcase,' one audience member said.
'There were about 100 people in there. They're trying something new.'

He reportedly performed two comedy showcases at the comedy club, with each set lasting for 20 minutes.
An audience member said everyone was required to put their phone in 'locked pouches' before Sacha came on stage - presumably to prevent the performance being leaked online.
'[Sacha] had everyone in stitches,' the onlooker said.

Ali G was the comedy persona that launched Sacha on the path to stardom.
The satirical character debuted on British TV program The 11 O'Clock Show in the late '90s, before later appearing in the self-titled spin-off Da Ali G Show in 2000.
Sacha is currently living in Sydney with his wife, Australian actress Isla Fisher, and their three children.
