What are the standard put-downs for use against hecklers?
Standard put-downs for use against hecklers
"Your mum."
I saw one 'comedian'* go with, "I suppose you think you could do a better job of being funny?"
Which I can only assume he would have avoided saying if he'd realised it was Jack Dee who had just heckled him.
* He was really bad...
A few things my mum said to me when I was very young:
Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe?
Is that your face, or has your neck just vomited?
How many times do I have to flush before you go away?
I saw Steve Coogan say "Standup I'll f**king destroy you, you c**t!" to a heckler, he stopped the music and the house lights to say it.
The guy didn't standup.

As Michael Richards put it: "Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside-down with a f**king fork up your ass!"
I saw a good one from John Cooper Clarke. It went - 'They wasted a good arse when they put teeth in your mouth, mate.'
A guy I saw last night came back with "On reflection, was that really worth ruining my set for?"
And Nina Conti dealt with the same heckler quite well, actually got him apologising to the monkey.
Anyone seen Richard Herring dealing with that heckler? What a tossbag. "The heckler, not Richard)
He's not really being heckled as he was asking for peoples problems at the time it's but still very funny.

Jimmy Carr is a legend !!!
Steve Martin: " Ah, I remember my first beer."
There is of course the infamous Bill Hicks / heckler incident...I think he might have gone just a TAD too far here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIQPBVQm_k&feature=related
But all hecklers are cowards and so deserve what they get.

I've heard that all hecklers are frustrated comedians!
Some heckles can enhance a set, and I've been to gigs where it's made the night.
I've also heard that the best way to deal with a heckle is to ignore it.
I guess you've just got to take the rough with the smooth.
