Comedian Louie Anderson is claiming he had trouble trying to walk and is blaming Manchu Wok.
The St. Paul native who got his start at Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis more than 25 years ago, is suing the Las Vegas restaurant.
Anderson, 56, contends he slipped while visiting the restaurant in March 2008, according to papers filed in Clark County Court.
The Manchu Wok is located inside the Excaliber Hotel and Casino, where Anderson is performing his "Larger Than Life" standup show.
