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.

My sister does all kinds of dance and drama productions,some of which I grudgingly attend. Anyway, this particular event was rather dire, and I'd taken the precaution of bringing along my MP3 player and a book to occupy myself until my beloved sibling came on stage.
Eventually, her act was announced by the bored-sounding young woman doing the commentary. Taking exception to this demeaning tone, and feeling compelled to say something, I remarked to the person next to me "She didn't sound very enthusiastic, did she?" Unfortunately, my noise-reducing headphones made everything sound very quiet, so to compensate I was practically shouting.
Most of the audience cracked up, the announcer looked suitably embarassed, and I got some really nasty looks from other members of the production team. I did notice a distinct improvement in the vigour and spirit with which further acts were announced, though.
