April 30, 2007 -- HYPERACTIVE comic Andy Dick brought his circus act to town the other night when he accosted two employees at Snitch nightclub on West 21 Street. "He grabbed a waitress' breasts and dug his nails into her neck," said our spy. "Then he poked her in the ear really hard." After that, our witness said, Dick "stuck his hand down the doorman's pants." Before the grope-fest, Dick partied at Cutting Room on West 24th Street, where he "lit his receipt on fire." Dick's rep did not return our calls.
