An audience was left stunned after a comedian made a cruel joke about transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

The 26-year-old social media influencer has been the focal point of a deeply divided debate after Bud Light sent her a personalized can of its product on April 1.

Mulvaney took her Instagram to share a promotional video of her dressed up as Audrey Hepburn and drinking the beverage - which was also to promote its March Madness competition and to celebrate her first year since transitioning.

The influencer - who has garnered 10.8 million followers on TikTok - also took pictures of commemorative cans the company sent to her with her face on them as a way to celebrate the "365 Days of Girlhood" milestone she reached.

Check out Mulvaney's post below:

Several conservative celebrities - including Kid Rock and Bri Teresi - took to their social media to denounce the campaign, with the latter even shooting cans of the beer as an act of defiance.

Now, it looks like the controversy surrounding Mulvaney continues as a comedian named Chrissie Mayr decided to brutally mock the activist at a stand-up show.

In a video shared on her Twitter account, Mayr told the crowd at Hyena's Comedy Nightclub in Dallas: "Why has it been a year of girlhood and still no t***? That’s day one, OK?"

Watch the comedian's stand-up below:

"If I’m transitioning to a dude, day one I’m getting a c*** - and I’m getting the biggest one you can find," before adding a stereotypical racial comment about Black men.

She then continued to question Mulvaney's gender-affirming top surgery before an audience member shouted a transphobic remark, saying: "Because he’s a man," to which the comedian agreed.

Rightfully so, the comment offended another attendee who exclaimed: "No! She’s a woman," so Mayr responded: "Uh-oh! We have one of those. It’s all good. We can all have different beliefs. It’s OK. Some of us can believe in reality…."

Moments later, the group of annoyed audience members is seen leaving the performance as the comic continues her show. One then yelled: "F*** you, transphobe!" and reportedly knocked over Mayr's merch table.

This follows the recent revelation made by Mulvaney that she has difficulty sleeping at night due to the backlash surrounding her campaign with Bud Light.

Speaking to fellow transgender activist Schuyler Bailar on his podcast, Dear Schuyler, she said: "Now there are hundreds of thousands of people that do not like me, and I still sometimes can't sleep but it in a weird way has been a blessing to sort of break that people-pleasing mentality."

Mulvaney said that her social media have become hotbeds of drama, with different users arguing with each other in the comments section like some sort of "cultural war". She sadly added that if she knew about the criticism she would receive, she probably wouldn't have taken the paid sponsorship.

"Now trying to be a little bit more diligent in what I'm accepting, because I kind of at the beginning, I took everything because I was in a scarcity mindset of like, 'Oh my god, this might only last for so long,'" she told Bailar.
