I watched this 2 days ago, then watched about 6 other vids about hecklers, then a dane cook stand-up, and a lot of other comedy stuff.
Its great.
Haha I watched this vid, then watched Joe Rogan attacking Carlos Mencia for stealing jokes and then about 10 more vids about that. The “related videos” part on youtube eats up a lot of my time:p
I remember that, “here Carlos Menstealia!”
Yeah I have to side with Joe Rogan because so many other comics say the SAME thing about Mencia stealing jokes. Having done standup comedy for years, and performed at the comedy store (where Rogan was on stage yelling at Mencia!) and know how it sucks to have a fellow comedian rip off your stuff!
I was hoping Joe had come up on the forums before. Joe Rogan is the man.
Well since this got bumped…
Robin Williams, in his stand-up act before the “Mork” days, used to go out and start bombing on purpose just waiting for someone to start heckling.
Then he would lay into the guy and do the whole rest of his set slamming the heckler with everything he had.
After performing at a juggling convention I had the Butterfly Man come right up to me and say he was going to steal some of my jokes.
At least he told me. I guess it’s my fault for performing new jokes at a Juggler’s Convention, serves me right.
Terry, how long did you do comedy, and where? We probably know some of the same acts. I did many one-nighters in Minn.
I used to love getting heckled! Nothing gets the audience on your side better than some drunk asshat that thinks he’s funny.
What does R mean?
I did stints at the LA Laugh Factory (Same venue of the now infamous “Kramer” fiasco!) the Comedy Store, The Imporv. Also a gig on a cruise ship, a TV commercial for a Cell phone co., a few guest star appearances on Sitcoms and game shows, and various clubs in Vegas. I performed from about 1977-1999.
Recommended.
A bit offtopic, but could you post some footage of your acts? I’ve seen you post about your stand up a few times and i’m interested to here some of it.
Unfortunately it’s all on olf VHS tape, so I’d have to find a way to convert it to digital. I know my video cam has that convert feature, but I can’t remember how it works. I’ll try to do it later.
I lol’d
It should stand for Rubbish. That was crap!
