Devastating Put-Downs
Amorous Badger says: I once saw a former manager of mine being asked to 'sit down and let your mouth have a chance to speak' by his senior. What's the best heckle/putdown/riposte you've ever seen? (Hint: Recycled 'Your mum' jokes does not make an answer)

Stand Up in Bradford - well I hope that makes you at least read it...
Ok so this is many years ago, I guess about 2002, and there is a small mini theatre under the Alhambra called The Studio where they do comedy nights on a Thursday, (or at least they did - it's a while back and I've had a bit too much Glenmorangie to care to look it up) anyway Toby Foster used to compare before he was the drummer in Phoenix Nights, it was cheap and funny, so a good night.
It being stand up, there were hecklers. It being cheap stand up, there were some pretty pants comedians. No worries, everyone has to start somewhere. See previous comments about cheap night out, and let's face it, I'm easily pleased...
One particular night one of the hecklers was a twat, there is no other way of saying it. It ended up with half the audience booing him and the comedian challenging him to a wrestle on stage. The comedian won. It was a great put down, in the most physical sense.
That is all. Goodnight.
and a completely true story
