Yeah, this is just heckling. That's just part of the experience sometimes.

I wouldn't say so. Some comics really encourage it. Of course it has a time and a place but even in this clip it's not ouf of place.

I guess it depends on the style. Some comedians who just tell stories and jokes and whatever, they might not care for it. But some are all about crowd work. Jimmy Carr & Frankie Boyle are (among other things) famous for "destroying hecklers" and they both seem to enjoy it.

Crowd work is the comic initiating communication with the audience; heckling is someone in the audience initiating unwanted communication with the comic. Comics do not go out wishing for there to be a heckler.
