Thread Name: Your Favourite Audience Insult/Comeback?
Subject: RE: Your Favourite Audience Insult/Comeback?
A friend has been the regular Monday-through-Thursday act at a good-sized bar for years. He decided that since most hecklers are drunk, and being drunk is basically a self-induced for of insanity, the only way to beat 'em is to be crazier than they are. His response to hecklers is to go into his "crazyman" routine replete with screaming, crying and whatever other bizarre behaviors he can come up with without getting fired or arrested. The bar regulars come to watch him go off on the hecklers as much as to hear him play.
