Comedian Gets Heckled — and It’s Shockingly Polite (and Hilarious)

A comedian got heckled, and it was shockingly polite and also pretty hilarious. The young man was doing his stand-up routine when someone from the audience began yelling at him. Watch the short, but hysterical, clip to hear the unusual and surprisingly polite way an audience member heckled the funnyman.

Stand-up comedy has to be one of the most challenging and, frankly, frightening things anyone can do. Most people have an absolutely paralyzing fear of public speaking or really doing anything where that will result in a bunch of eyeballs on them.

Now, take those fears of public speaking and add the pressure of trying to be funny and entertaining an entire audience. That sounds pretty terrifying, right? Just the thought of that situation is enough to cause many people to break out in a cold sweat. Regardless of how scary that is and how much guts it would take to get up and try stand-up, some people will still choose to heckle - to be loud, rude, obnoxious and criticize the comic.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a comedian was in the middle of his routine when an audience member started heckling him. But instead of immediately shouting something rude or obscene, this loud, disruptive audience member was polite, making for an unexpectedly hilarious scene.

“Would you like a heckle from up here?” an audience member in the balcony asks the comedian.

The quick-witted comedian turned the disruption into a laugh-out-loud moment, shooting back with a hysterical response.

“Would I like one from up there?” the comedian says. “I tell you what, I would like the most polite person in the world to do it, absolutely. I would love a heckle from up there.”

After a few moments where the heckler and the comedian exchange pleasantries, the comedian gives him the floor, telling him to go ahead and “do your heckle.”

Then things take another unexpected, but equally hilarious turn.

“I need a bit of time to think,” the heckler responds.
