A harrowing story, details still emerging, has surfaced in Dundalk, Maryland. Local comedy folk hero and entertainment entrepreneur Vincenzo Beedle, more commonly known as Vinny, found himself in the right place at the right time with the right attitude when he noticed a child screaming from the window of a thirty-seventh floor apartment near the Chili’s on Merritt Boulevard in Dundalk, Maryland.

Beedle quickly intervened and scaled all thirty-seven floors using the fire escape on the north side of the building, eventually hanging from his feet, which were wedged in between the railings of the fire escape, catching the child in his strong, outstretched arms, and carrying her down to safety. Her parents were unaware of the fire, having gone out hours earlier to watch the Orioles game.

“I was just doing my job,” said the humble Beedle when asked for comment. “Another local comedian, this guy Tom Meyers, once said comedians are like first responders, and I think I proved Tommy right.”

Beedle has recently been in New York City, helping save a failing podcast out of Christian benevolence. The podcast is a hobby project of three friends — one who is autistic and has dwarfism, one who is a Jewish transwoman, and another who is a deathly-ill regular obese man — and has been relentlessly bullied by online trolls, who go as far as planting fake news articles about Beedle and his wards being murderers, pedophiles, and plain-old rapists.

Vinny is again humble about his charitable efforts for the disadvantaged, emphasizing his friendships with the downtrodden New Yorkers, saying in a telephone interview that “Nick really is a normal height, Adam has swag” and that “I love to see Stavros laugh through the pain.”
