Jason Sudeikis had to beg fans to back off during a recent outing ...
telling autograph seekers he'd really gotten freaked out while leaving a club and just wanted to go home. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ..
. there were about 15-20 fans seeking autographs outside the Dynasty Typewriter Comedy Club in L.A.
to wait for Jason beginning around 6:30 PM. We're told he left the club around 9:30 PM. When he got outside, he signed one or two autographs -- and, the rest of the fans sorta rushed him, asking him to sign for them too.
Jason -- who didn't plan on really sticking around to sign, it seems -- started heading for his car ...
which is where the video picks up, showing the fans chasing him down the street. Watch the clip ..
. there are a few guys following JS down -- and at least one guy who seems to walking lockstep with Jason before he stops and asks them to leave him alone. He tells them the interaction outside the club -- getting crowded by so many people at once -- "scared the s***" out of him .
.. and, he says he's now heading to his car and he's not signing anything else.
Listen to his voice ...
the star's clearly shaken -- and, he's almost begging these fans to let him get on with his night. Jason's not the first celeb to get overwhelmed by all the attention in public ..
. remember, last month Chappell Roan ripped fans for crosing boundaries -- telling them to respect her space when they spot her on the street. Seems Jason felt a similar way Saturday night .
.. and, he let his fans.
