A Calabasas, California country club found that out the hard way, when the Curb Your Enthusiasm star prematurely left a gig there last week because the venue couldn’t pay his $800 fee in cash.
Garlin, who played Jeff Greene on the iconic HBO comedy from Larry David, left his slated gig at the Calabasas Country Club over the lack of physical money on hand, insiders told Page Six on Wednesday.
The Chicago-born comic-actor, who also played the role of Murray Goldberg on The Goldbergs, left about 40 people in attendance upset at his departure, after they had specifically come to watch him onstage, a source told the paper.

Garlin – who played Jeff Greene on the iconic HBO comedy from Larry David – ‘can be a very neurotic guy’ and ‘get hung up on things,’ a source told the outlet.
