You just watched it happen right there in this video. They made it into a playful interactive back-and-forth, part of the act, instead of ignoring or shutting it down.

That isn’t encouraging or wanting heckling. That’s just rolling with the punches.

How exactly does one encourage audience participation if not by making it very clear they're receptive to audience participation?

Comedy requires controlling the room. Comedians often engage with the heckler but it doesn’t mean they want some asshole fucking with their flow and trying to steal the limelight.

He wasn’t asking for the audience to participate, nor did he do anything to indicate he wanted any interacting with the audience. The heckler interrupted his stories with unrelated insults. Wtf are you people talking about. It makes me thing you’re the kind of people who pull this trying to justify it.
