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.

Cricket heckle
Watching the Warwickshire v Northamptonshire 20twenty cricket match last summer at Edgbaston. Northants are fielding, and the fielder closest to the Eric Hollies stand (where the majority of the fans are) is not very good.
Thanks to the innovation of names on the back of the shirts we know that this fielders name is Huggins. He constantly drops catches, misfields, doesn't throw very far. What starts as goading, soon becomes sarcastic support. 'Huggins for England' being sung by 5000 cricket fans after each mistake was probably the final straw for the Northants captain who changed the field and put another fielder over by the Hollies stand.
Cue new fielder making a mistake and the crowd chanting 'Are You Huggins In Disguise?'
Then it's Northants turn to bat, and reasoning that Huggins didn't bowl and wasn't much of a fielder - we thought that he must be high up in the batting order.
The openers come out, no Huggins. A wicket goes down and the chant starts up 'We Want Huggins! We Want Huggins!'. This chant started with each wicket, but he never appeared. Warwickshire only took 7 wickets, so we never saw him again.
We like to think he was crying in the changing room.
