Indeed. I just can't get my head around hecklers at all. Don't they know that everyone hates them? Saw a brilliant one once, this arsehole drunk student was giving the comedian a hard time so the comedian invited him onstage to do better. The guy got up and started telling his lame-arse racist jokes and the audience all started chanting "You're shit!". Then as he was walking off someone threw a bit of lemon at him which stuck in his hair, at which point I damn near pissed my pantaloons.

I see your/his point, but isn't that a bit like saying you can't crit a piece of art if you're not a great artist? Or summats.
I saw some nice art on Sunday.

Was it nudey? (cor)
Um. I suppose some of it was.

Heckling is more akin to slashing the canvas.

Yeah funny bloke, I'm going to see him on Sunday at a club near me, Canny wait!

Apologies for ressurrecting an ancient thread but I just found out the above was was staged!

First I'd like to express my shock and disappointment that Aaron went so off-topic earlier in this thread.
Next I'd like to add that while hecklers are a pain, a nuisance, usually drunk, and convinced wrongly they are helping you, they do serve some purpose. Many punters believe comedians are making it up as they go along, I used to get people come up to me and complain they'd heard me tell the same joke a week earlier. For comedians a heckle is more often than not a chance to show that they can indeed make it up on the spot, and nine times out of ten a good comic will shut a heckler up and impress the rest of the crowd along the way.
But yes, when they don't shut up they're a pain.
My sister doesn't like standup because they don't make it up on the night. I nearly headbutted her.

Unfortunately, in General... going off topic is pretty much a given! 
No rules about staying on topic here.
Darn it. Thought I might be up for a special BCG Award for first person ever to catch out Aaron.
No, he does bad things but he's 'The Man' so he gets away with it.
Wasn't that Burns one meant to be a set-up? The couple apparently joined him on stage at the end of the show.
Look at the guy next to the woman, some terrible over acting on the facial expressions I reckon.
It is a strange thing to set up.
