There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive hecklers.
I get hecklers all the time!
I love hecklers. They remind you that you are a comedian.
I think I intimidate hecklers because I weigh more than most of them.
I talk kinda slow, especially for the Northeast, so it was a way to beat [would-be hecklers] to the punch.
I don't get many hecklers now but answering them is an art form in itself.
I'm a comic; we get hecklers every night! It's really just part of the job.
On stage it's just a wild setting - we have a big screen - hecklers, I'm fighting. It's entertainment, but I want to pierce [the audience's] souls and have them think about what I have to say.
I always find a couple of hecklers... I'll kinda look at them, stare at 'em, and let them know I can't be stopped.
As a disabled comedian, often my hecklers are also disabled.
I spend a lot of time on social media and people ask me if the abuse I get is upsetting, but working in comedy has built up my skin - I'm used to hecklers.
I think my comedy, the put-downs I do to hecklers, are the accumulated bitterness of years of people feeling that it's perfectly acceptable to make a comment on your appearance when they don't even know you.
When hecklers stand up, I get a mental jump for joy. It gives me something to get my teeth into - and the audiences love it.

Even if you get a joke right you've done it a thousand times and sometimes there's times where it just doesn't work or someone doesn't agree with you. And I want to show that. I have had more hecklers because that's part of comedy is arguments, you know?
