HecklesForget 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.

We were watching the Mull Historical Societysupporting The Strokes before either were famous. MHS were somewhere between appalling and godawful turgid pap. Between the end of one boring number and the start of the next they stopped to no applause at all, merely an embarrasing silence. One of my friends shouted "You're shit" at the stage and all the members of the band stopped retuning and looked in our direction. Then the friend on the other side said in a matter of fact way "...and dull." Obviously not a particularly witty put down but I've never seen one so immediately effective. The audience broke into applause, the band stood there speecheless then tried to get through a few more numbers with the audience now talking in the security of knowing that nobody was trying to listen to the music. After ten minutes they shuffled off-stage to no discernable response.
