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.

"I'm not scared!"Many years ago when I was about five, I'd gone to see Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' at the theatre. It was at the point near the end when the ghost of christmas future appears. He was at least seven foot tall, wearing a long black cloak that was ripped and torn, and a large hood shadowed his face. He spread out his arms and then was lifted another four foot in to the air, his long cape still touching the stage as smoke drifted across the ground.
At five years old this bloody terrified me, but I didn't want to let on how scared I really was. So as this tense moment takes place and everyone is silent, a little voice echoes from somewhere near the back, "I'm not scared!"
Well at this, the whole place erupts with laughter and there's some laughter from Scruge too.
So I spoilt that performance.
