A group of Spokane residents saved a man’s life at Drew Lynch’s comedy show Friday evening after he collapsed of a heart attack in the middle of the crowd.

“I got to experience a group of people coming together to revive someone to give them back their life,” Lynch said in an emotional video posted to social media. “… It was a beautiful thing, because it restored hope for whatever is going on in this crazy world.”

The man collapsed at Lynch’s early show about 10 minutes into his set, comedian Rachel Aflleje, who was also performing that night, wrote on Instagram.

It took “what felt like forever” to realize what was going on, but “people in the room with no ego” cleared a path and worked together to save the man’s life, Lynch said.
