Hecklers at the Show

winston82

So i went to see Andrew Maxwell the other night. As usual, there were the few heckles which raised a grin. But this pie-ball behind us just told the comedian "to stop using crisp packets for jonnies and shut the f**k up". This was completely out of the blue and had no link with any jokes.
Anyway, Maxwell made this dude look like a tit so he handled it well.



So what the best/worst heckle you've heard and how did it go down?

I was in the audience of a Tommy Tiernan gig and I yelled "You're ****e!"

It's funny because it's true

to which he commonly responds " ok *strums first few chords * How about i bowl my balls into your mouth ?? "

then proceeds to rip on the person in question throughout the night.

Wasn't mad about him before the show. i hadn't heard any of his stand up. But after it he changed my mind. He was very funny but i think he is "too dub" for any one ouside here to like. Spent a lot of time nailing country folk so dont think its winning him extra fans

S.I.R

if you live in the city ( by which i mean you actually live rather then counting the days till you go home and eat cork flakes you smelly bogger idiots ( only applys to them people ) ) but if you dont you cant get it....


i think he is great personally but yeah...


if you dont like him, just accept it and move on...

This is "kind of" heckling in a very strange way.

Lee Hurst, the television comedian, today admitted smashing an audience member’s mobile phone at one of his gigs but claimed he did so to stop thieves stealing his material.
The 46-year-old former star of the TV show They Think It’s All Over pleaded guilty at Guildford Magistrates’ Court to grabbing the £80 Motorola handset belonging to Gareth Hughes, shouting abuse and throwing it to the floor. He said he did so because he believed it was being used to film his performance at the Stoke Pub in Guildford, Surrey.
The comedian claimed in court that there was a growing problem with writers recording rival comics' material so that they could pirate their jokes and sell them to television shows. He claimed that footage of his gigs ended up on websites such as YouTube.
“TV programmes have writers writing for the performers and they go around to gigs and take the material and sell it to the BBC and ITV and that material is gone," said Hurst, who defended himself.

“You are then accused of stealing your own material. It has happened to me with material shown on national TV that I had already done.
“There are thieves amongst the circuit, sadly, and amongst the writing community. Nobody will protect us, we have to protect ourselves.”
He was fined £60, and ordered to pay compensation of £80 and £87 costs after admitting a charge of criminal damage.
Hurst, of Limehouse, East London, told the magistrates that he had been coming towards the end of his 30-minute act on September 3 when he noticed someone standing at the back holding up their mobile "with the light shining towards me”.
He added: “I moved to the right and the light followed me. I moved back to the centre and the light followed me again.
“I realised he was filming me. This is a situation that happens from time to time, unfortunately.”
Hurst, who told the court that he was speaking on behalf of all stand-up comics, said that although there were supposed to be rules against people using phones during gigs, when it happened there was nothing the performer could do “but suffer it”.
He added that although Mr Hughes claimed he was texting, he had seen the light and was sure he was filming.
He said that he did not know how to delete footage from a phone so, in anger, he had smashed it.
The chairman of the bench, Jon Curtis, told him: “Although we have some sympathy with the situation you found yourself in, it is clearly not an excuse to cause damage.”
Speaking outside court, Hurst said that he would do the same thing again, and called for comedians to be given the same copyright protection as films shown in cinemas.
“I don’t regret what I did because the police wouldn’t turn up to defend me, would they? It was in anger, but it is like having your tools stolen if your material is taken," he said.
“We just need the same protection that is afforded to the cinema on copyright theft.”
He added: “Ban YouTube – it is the biggest piece of c*** ever.”
