Comedian Natasha Leggero takes top off during show to make very important point

Comedian Natasha Leggero shocked much of the audience last week at one of her shows by taking her top off.

A comedian has raised eyebrows after taking her top off on stage during her set, but it turns out she did it for a very important reason.

You can watch what happened at the gig below:

At a set by Natasha Leggero last Wednesday (January 17) at the Skyler Stone’s Comedy Rocks event in Los Angeles, she began by whipping her clothes off.

The room was definitely behind the stunt, but Leggero revealed she wasn't just aiming to shock and was actually making an important point.

The comedian, 49, was performing at the popular comedy club Hollywood Improv where the likes of David Spade and Tiffany Haddish were also on that night's setlist.

Ahead of her Leggero's gig, shirt-hating stand-up star Bert Kreischer had warmed up the crowd and obviously pulled his trademark move while cracking some jokes.

The bare-chested man says he always ends up peeling his clothes off because 'fat guys take their shirts off all the time at home', adding that he sees it as a way to 'remind myself that I’m supposed to be having a good time'.

He managed to impress the audience with his set, but footage from the show seems to suggest Leggero had some thoughts about his trademark schtick.

Kreischer can be seen naked from the waist up in the clip while introducing the next act on stage, describing her as one of the 'funniest comedians in the world'.

He added: "I'm jealous of her husband because he gets to live with her, because she is that f**king hilarious."

Leggero then strutted on stage to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's hit track 'Still D.R.E', and people were certainly taken aback by the stunt she immediately pulled.

Wearing a faux fur coat, a white t-shirt and a pair of blue dungarees, she quickly began removing all of her layers and tossing her clothes to a man positioned in the front row.

And after that, let's just say Leggero gave the audience quite an eyeful after removing her white top.

Kreischer can be heard in the audience yelling: "Holy s**t! Oh my god. The f**king best. I'm going to have to take my pants off now!"

Some may argue a tad extreme yeah, but the Leggero did have good reason for stripping.

She subsequently said to the crowd: "If the boys can do it, why can’t the girls?"

And to be honest, who can argue with that.
