The other night I found myself at a club for a night of stand up comedy, hosted by a good friend of mine.
Unfortunately, the gig was marred by a couple of hecklers, who ruined the experience for everyone.
It was one of the worst bouts of heckling I have ever witnessed, and yes, much to my wife's discomfort, I confronted the hecklers.
Have you ever had to deal with hecklers? What is the worst heckle you've heard? Are you yourself a heckler?
