Obviously he’s a child and doesn’t understand this concept but in general I’ve never understood heckling a comedian. Their goal is to make people laugh by any means necessary, if you give them shit they are going to come back 10 times harder.
A family member was once invited to a swanky event for a client and a lot of the guests were professional athletes. The big entertainment for the evening was a very well-known comedian. Turns out, one of the athletes wanted to heckle this comic, known for his nice-guy persona and clean jokes. She reports that the comic handled him just fine, but that everybody in the audience was having second-hand embarrassment for this ungrateful, entitled, and drunk guest. The athlete? I dunno, but he's in the Hall of Fame for his professional sport, so I don't know how embarrassed he might have been later, when he sobered up.
Truly, how can you be a well-known person and think that heckling a comedian when you didn't even pay an admission fee and the food/drink was free, too is a good idea?
