Slime Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Which performers are the best at dealing with hecklers? Post video links, news stories or even just personal memories. Who is the best at dealing with the interrupters? Here's a few I like, plus a few worth mentioning Joe Rogan - http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_3b2_33vI&feature=related Kevin Smith (I posted this ages ago, but it deserves a replay) - http://www.filecabi.net/video/file-969075287.html George Carlin - http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=it9kpZHXhxI&feature=related random guy + guitar to the teeth - http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=kNX28Dyqtzs&feature=related (obviously there's the right way and there's THIS way) Bill Hicks - http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrgwZsGC9A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm familiar with the Kevin Smith one. Awesome. I'll have to check the others out. I think I know the guitar to the teeth one too. If you know the whole story there, that guy was being threatened by regulars of that club and just jumped the gun on that. I'm particularly interested in Joe Rogan's.

Janie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I remember hearing a story once where David Attell had this response to an out-of-control heckler sitting with his embarrassed girlfriend: "It's guys like you that make girls like that come home with guys like me." Or something to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Rogan killed that girl. I didn't get to see any others cuz I started watching all the clips of Rogan destroying "Carlos Mencia" for being a hack that steals bits. I hate that Menstealia guy. Rogan ate him up at his own show. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 the late great awesome Mitch Hedberg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1LKVPSpIDA Apparently in comedy clubs, if you're bombing and the people running the club want you to get off the stage, they'll either turn on a red light or hold up a candle in the back of the room so that the comedian on stage can see it and knows to wrap it up. The heckler was taking all the little candles off of the tables and placing them on the table right next to Mitch, showing that he thought Mitch's act sucked. The whole thing was even more cool because Mitch was notoriously known for his very severe stage fright which was often (alot actually) mistaken for him being totally wasted which was not the case at all.

Mara Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I can't figure out why anyone would heckle Carlin. Pay god-alone-knows-how-much for a ticket and then risk getting tossed? Carlin owned, though, right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 QUOTE (Mara @ Jan 5 2009, 11:31 AM)I can't figure out why anyone would heckle Carlin. Pay god-alone-knows-how-much for a ticket and then risk getting tossed? Carlin owned, though, right from the start. Doesn't he though. Wouldve loved to have seen him, just once. I dont think he hardly ever made it down here, if ever. I know someone from another board that met him. Sorry to stray from the point of thread, just had to pass that on.

DAMN, that's too bad I'm surprised to know there existed hecklers in a Carlin show, no one could be that foolish, so there it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
