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.

Man at C&ARichard Morton (you may have seen him on TV in the early days of Channel 5) used to be part of a musical "comedy" double act. He played at our Uni back in about '89, and they were pretty good. Except that they came back about three months later - and told all the same jokes, word for word. So we knew the punchlines, and, erm, helped him out.
Morton: "This is a song about premature ejaculation..."
Us: "It's called 'Even an egg takes three minutes'"
Comedians have no response to hecklers who know their material as well as they do.
And then there was the time I got a round of applause and brought the show to a complete halt during "The Rocky Horror Show" at the Birmingham Hippodrome though judicious shouting of the words "John Major", but that's another story...
