He gets knocked down, but he gets up again – I’ve featured Australian comic Jim Jeffries before: he’s incredibly hilarious but incredibly crude and apparently in Manchester recently he hit on some nutter’s hotbutton issue. Said nutter promptly got up on stage and attacked him. Nevertheless our doughty hero carried on:
Jim Jeffries is funny and so had the audience behind him, but I’m amazed the whole fucking audience didn’t attack this very unfunny American comic. No idea who he is but perhaps it’s best he should remain nameless if this performance is any guide. The lamest wingnut comedian I’ve ever seen. Two women take him on re his racist comments and make him look very silly indeed. “Fuck you!” “Not likely”:
How not to get the audience behind you: take the straight and simple Oklahoma approach to hecklers and nip it in the bud with a whack over the head with a guitar.
None of the above is SFW, due to offensive language, but the next clip is. “I not a girl, I a woman!” 2 year old Sadie deals with a pest:
But best and most stylish heckler response of all comes from Noel Fielding of the Mighty Boosh. It’s shaky cameraphone footage but the sound is OK and he handles the heckler with just his wit and his unique style.
Now that’s the way to do it. And you lot can shut up at the back.
