I have been to many a venue to see a stand-up comedian
only to be greatly annoyed by professional hecklers.
I kid you not, there are people out there that get off on
showing up at comedy clubs with an entourage of like
minded simpletons to do nothing more than disrupt an
otherwise decent performance.
When I first started seeing this I thought to myself that
it is an isolated incident, not at all prolific.
I was wrong.
It is pathetic, to watch a fellow human being try to
humiliate a comedian while they are doing their job
leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
It is wrong on so many levels, not the least of which
is depriving the audience of a good show.
I stopped going to clubs because of this phenomenon.
Tom Wilson does a decent job of covering this issue…
