There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive hecklers.
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.
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.
I'm a comic; we get hecklers every night! It's really just part of the job.
I don't get many hecklers now but answering them is an art form in itself.
My choices are made out of love. When I go on stage now, I want to make people happy. I mean, when I get hecklers now, I'm nice to them!
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?
I would say, as far as heckling, there's benign and there's malignant; like tumors man. Sometimes you get really nice hecklers. I'd say percentage-wise it's only about 10 to 20 percent the whole year.
I love hecklers. They remind you that you are a comedian.
I talk kinda slow, especially for the Northeast, so it was a way to beat [would-be hecklers] to the punch.
I think I intimidate hecklers because I weigh more than most of them.
I'll get to the force field of this hostility, why it's there, why the rage is in any of us, why the trash takes place, whether or not it's between me and a couple of hecklers in the audience or between this country and another nation, the rage

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.
