This is a poor comeback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMico2NxesU

Call me a cynic, but there's a vaguely staged feel to that. The way they both go down.

I think you're right

I think Keith Chegwin's got some classics.

At the beginning of this video is the best heckle ever:

I've posted this before I think, but Bill Hicks really loses it on this stupid drunk woman. I mean REALLY loses it. And why not? Most hecklers totally deserve it.

I HATE hecklers, especially the ones that just won't STFU. They're almost always completely pissed, which impairs their judgement so much that they simply can't read the hostile atmosphere and dagger looks being directed at them.

I've been to one gig where this twat had been mouthing off his unfunny shite all night, and the comedian (who shall remain nameless) gave him the mic and told him to get up on stage and make people laugh. You've never seen such a cocky swagger as this idiot made his way to the stage - think Liam Gallagher but with even more deluded self-belief. He started telling these horrible racist gags that'd make Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning blush and then he was roundly booed offstage - someone chucked a bottle at him too. The comedian got back onstage to raucous applause. Not sure why, he was rubbish as well :)

Anyway, here's that old Hicks clip

Next thing you'll be saying we never landed on the moon.

Besides "shit comic and big c**t" could be the new Ant and Dec.

Bill Hicks recalls the worst gig he ever did. Tough crowd! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc6yCinSlZk

Thanks for that. Never seen that before. Many thanks. Hicks is in a world of his own, comedy-wise.

Almost certainly staged, but very funny nonetheless:

Louis C.K. goes slightly over the top with a heckler

Yes that's staged, it's from the latest episode of his TV show, rather than a real gig.

I was listening to an old mp3 of Charm Offensive in the car. The pannel were sort of picking on the audience...

Andy Parsons (to a student) with his grand pomp. "It only take one audience member to spoil it for every one.."
Student... "It only takes one panel member to......"

David Bussell and Matt Stott can both confirm that my "IMPOTENCE!" heckle went down very well at The Sitcom Trials one night.

In the Hicks' loses it show, after screaming at the woman he completely goes nuts on some guy who keeps shouting out freebird (on YouTube it's part 5/6) and screams "Hitler had the right idea, he was just an under achiever"

Best :)

I love shouting out Freebird. It's one of my favourite past times.

At comedy clubs or just in life in general?
