Hollywood's funny man Ben Stiller has stripped his comic image as he goes onstage as a covert racist in Neil Labute's latest play "This Is How It Goes".

The "Meet The Fockers" star will be seen blurting a string of controversial racist epithets in the play that is vouched to have audiences squirming in their seats, reported the New York Post.

"I was suggesting to the director that he might want to put some hockey glass up before the last scene," Stiller joked after a benefit performance for a select well-heeled audience here.
