Amusing thread on b3ta.com about heckles (). Lots of good stuff in there but this one had me laughing out loud...

"was at a comedy show in Auckland, the comedian told a funny story about a dwarf. Suddenly a dwarf shouts up from the audience, something about it not being funny etc.

To give the comedian his due, he said didn't see him down there, to much amusement (to me anyway).

The dwarf replied that it was his birthday and he had spoilt it.

The comedian feeling a little guilty now then proceeds to get everyone in the audience to sing happy birthday to him.

the only thing is, noone knew his name, and the place erupted, when everyone sutterd then completed the line, happy birthday, dear....dwartf!...

hahaha, had to be there etc."

My favourite and one for Bola

The legendary Tunnel club in Deptford, run by the sorely missed Malcolm Hardee.
This was about 20 years ago now. One of the acts was a mime artist- Les Bubb.
He was about 5 minutes into his act when a shout came from the back
"for fuck's sake tell a joke, I'm blind"

Heh.

apparently if you really want to piss of ryan adams you only have to shout out for summer of 69.

it's been going on for years at his gigs now and it must get really old... but what makes it funny is that he STILL gets a right strop on about it.

I can see how it would get annoying. Run To You was just as good, if not better, but doesn't get the credit it deserves.

He used to pay people back their entrance fee and get them to leave if they shouted for it, thats encouraging people who feel they have seen enough to break even £ wise.
