Comedian Dane Cook mocked the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting in his standup act this week that was caught on video obtained by TheDailyCaller.com.
Appearing at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, Cook prefaced the remarks by saying “here we go.”
“So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie,” he said. And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap. Yea, spoiler alert.”

The crowd’s response was a mix of groans, laughter and cheers.
Last week, Warner Bros. studios, which produced “The Dark Knight Rises” contributed money to the relief fund for the victims of the mass shooting of a midnight showing of the film, where 12 people were killed and dozens wounded.
