fatjim Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That will be what separates the professional comedians from the, well, you Having done stand up for 6 years I know for a fact that even the pros don't like to be "helped out" by the audience interrupting. Believe me I have spoken to a lot of pros. I also run a pro comedy night in Edinburgh so I am well aware of the annoyance of this. Link to comment

Some people genuinely think they are helping the act but really they are just deviating them away from their set which they have practiced and timed only for some selfish twat talking throughout the set either entertaining himself or his mates..Not many performing arts where people would accept or appreciate that.Imagine doing it through a play.

Went to see a Ross Noble gig and some arsehole went out of his way to spoil it. Was too much for one punter and he kicked the fuck out of the 'heckler'. Fair play. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 When are ABZ Red and Betty Swallicks taking their act on the road? Link to comment
fatjim Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I shouted at the guy at the evening you were part of, but he was Jim White's love child. I've also shouted 'fuck off you cunt' to Jimmy Carr, but he was pretty much asking for someone to shout some form of abuse. He thought he had me when he said 'yeah but you paid for your ticket', but I got it as a freebie.Other than that, I've never shouted out. I like to see the act. You'd probably find that most comperes actually say in their opening bit "You can abuse me or shout at me but try not to interrupt the acts" or words to that effect. The compere's job is to warm up the audience and engage with them a bit more so it lends itself to that. They have no set time so can be more flexible. Plus that compere is a Rangers fan.

fatjim Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I’m a bit of a hypocrite. I once shouted He’s behind you at a panto. That is different. The panto expects that audience participation to an extent. Imagine Frankie being shouted at while making the tea and coffee at BT when he was trying to concentrate on boiling the kettle. 1 Link to comment
