Heckler Put Downs
A heckler, by definition is âsomeone who tries to embarrass you with gibes and questions and objectionsâ. If you have the desire to be a comedy performer on the stage then you will have to learn to deal with these people all the time. It is a big part of the fun of stand-up.
Here we go with some heckler put downs. If you think youâve got better fire away in the comments section with your own!
Warning: contains strong language.
- âIâve seen you before havenât I fella. Thatâs right, I saw you in the car park getting our of your car, now I know why the fuck you were in a disabled space.â
- âIâve seen you before havenât I young lady. Thatâs right, I saw you in the car park getting out of your car, for this woman normal spaces arenât wide enough so she parks in the mother/baby spaces to squeeze out her fat arse.â
- âIâve seen you before havenât I. I saw you in Sainsburyâs earlier today. A fat free yoghurt isnât going to be enough to help you out.â
- (If they say âwasnât meâ to the above) âOh right, and I suppose it also wasnât you who dribbled on the hot chicken counter! Yeah, I know what you chubby lot are like.â
- âLook stop heckling, Iâm busy right now, can I ignore you some other time.â
- âI would make a joke about nailing your girlfriend. But I can see your shagging a fatty so I wonât even bother with that.â
- âDonât you need a license to be such an ugly bastard? Iâm surprised youâre allowed in public without consent.â
- âNot get that joke? The lights are on but nobodyâs home.â
- âIs that your girlfriend next to you? Or your sister, I guess it makes no odds, you look like the sort of fella who regardless of relation would still fuck âem.â
- âI love people like you, I donât need to do gags, your such a twat you can just shout stuff at me and bring the house down!â
- âIâve had shits that have made me laugh more then you.â
- âI hate hecklers like you, too easy. Shall I take the piss because youâre fat, ginger, ugly, spekky, badly dressed, need a shave, look distinctly like a paedo, and if I was a betting man, you stink of BO.â
- âRight this show only goes on for 2 hours, so if you donât pipe down I think other people will make you pipe down. They paid to see me, and not you, for a fucking reason.â
- âIâve seen starving Africans with more enthusiasm then you.â
- âAre you old enough to buy a ticket for this show? Youâve probably got less pubes down there then a porn star.â

My personal favorite is âNot get that joke? The lights are on but nobodyâs home.â I have been known to poke fun of friends and family, and that one has been used on me in the past before. Also, being a blond I often get simple jabs back at me that have to do with my hair color instead of commenting on just how funny the person thinks I am. Although I can often dish the sarcasm, I am never quick enough to jab back so I will definitely have to take note of all of these so that I have some answers to fire back in the future! Keep them coming!

That one’s definitely the best, because it’s both true and lets the person know that they’re a twat and nobody else appreciates their humor. I’ve seen comedians use a similar bit of calling the heckler up onto the stage and handing them the mic, then sitting down in the audience to listen to them. It only takes a few seconds until they’re out of “clever” things to say and they’re booed by the crowd the entire time. Seeing them hang their head and hand the mic back is great.
I think the best I’ve seen was Joe Rogan blasting a heckler who was drunk and thought she was special enough to yell her thoughts during his bit like he was having a conversation directly with her. She got a conversation but probably not the one she wanted.
These are great! My favorite one is definitely “I would make a joke about shagging your girl but I see she’s a fatty so I won’t even bother.” It only makes me feel bad because she might be an innocent audience member while her boyfriend is being the ass. But then again, maybe she shouldn’t be dating such a jerk.
I really like watching hecklers get destroyed by comedians Ricky Gervais and Zach Galifianakis both have some amazing bits on youtube of them dealing with hecklers. Zach’s had a bit “Did you come to see me, or did you come to sit up on the stage and look at the fucking sound booth”
