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.

SlapThis is more of a comeback than a heckle. In the early 90s, I went to see a show called New Joke City featuring Greg Fleet, Marty Sheargold, Matt King and Someone Else (sorry whoever you are), and part of this show was an actually reasonably funny bit where they're pretending to be in an art gallery, and they're looking out at the audience as if we're a painting. Fleety steps forward and starts waving his hands at us to demonstrate the frame of the painting, and accidentally slaps me quite hard on the forehead. He apologised immediately and I was too surprised to respond. At the end of the show when they were taking a bow, I waved him over and slapped him very gently in return. He took it with good grace.
