Heckles
Forget the drunk bloke at the back yelling incoherent nonsense. Sometimes a well placed heckle can raise a mediocre act to a brilliant night out.
Tell us your best heckles and, if you are brave, the retorts that put you back in your place like the maggot you are.

Annoying twats...
Was at a comedy night at local theatre a couple of months ago, was going well, good humoured banter between us and the MC and first act, till towards the end of the first act and the interval.
Then a voice shouts out from the back (can't remember quite what), the comic takes it in good humour, as you do. But the twat will not shut up, and annoying comments keep coming for 5 or so minutes, then the comic - who by now is quite pissed off - finishes of his act, and it had gone well apart for the twat.
The MC comes out again to do a bit of MC-ing, and the twat starts up again. Obviously the MC had been expecting this or was more experienced with dealing with twats. So he casually starts taking the piss out of him, much to our amusement and the guy carries on - I expect he didn't realise what was going on. At the end the MC finally snaps (sort of) and challenges this bloke, he has the break to come up with something decent, and if it gets a laugh he'll buy the twat a pint. Fair enough.
After the break I'm back in my seat a bit early - no money for the bar, and I think I've guessed who the guy is. The theatre fills up, and in come the guys I thought it was coming from. Except one is missing - he'd obviously legged in the break.
MC come out, news gets out, he makes a joke about not having to buy a pint, and we get on with a brilliant night of laughs. Which that twat missed.
Serves the twat right, if you ain't funny, don't heckle - unless you're really, really pissed or know the bouncers so they won't hurt you.
