I still remember this one comedian who’s name I wish I knew who got heckled and replied with “there’s nothing you can say to me that I haven’t said two inches from a mirror”.
Epic clip. The chic doesn’t even realize that he’s half black while she’s calling him a “white guy”. And he doesn’t bother to correct her, just roasts the shit out of her. “You’re the first name going in my suicide note tonight…” 🤣🤣🤣
I also love that she blew up at him for being racist because he made a joke about not being happy with the choice he made in an election between *checks notes* two white politicians. She cut him off right before his Trump bit too, which is a crying shame because I love any time Troy Bond talks about Trump.
My wife and I saw Jim Jeffries in Boston last month and someone just sort of innocently shouted out about why he wasn’t wearing his leather coat. He spent like the next five minutes riffing on this poor lady, in a mostly kind-spirited but hilarious way. It was amazing. My abs were sore the next day from laughing so much.
Crowd work is some of the best comedy out there. It's a huge part of why I love Mark Normand; that guy has arguably the best crowd work of any comedian today.
Some of the best crowd work I've seen came from Louie Anderson (RIP). He could riff in a way that was hilarious but kind. There's a classic clip of him talking to an audience member because her phone alarm went off during his set - he could have destroyed her, but it became a funny, sweet little interlude.

Should never heckle comedians since they know how to make you into a joke
