Go W!
What's wrong with a little attention?
I don't consider myself a heckler, but at a comedy show I can't stop myself. If I'm in the front row at a comedy show I can't help but to put my two cents out there. And what's wrong with that? I've seen some comics come up with some pretty great on the spot jokes about people in the audience. Why not make a joke about me? I'll laugh, and probably harder than anyone else in the joint. However, this weekend at the Jay Mohr show, I held back. For the sake of my friends, who didn't want to be on the end of a joke, I kept it down. And after two Galapagos Giggler's that was pretty tough. Turns out I owe Kristy and Holly a big thank you because, during the course of the show, Mr. Mohr completely ripped into people who heckle. In such a big way you wondered if it wasn't really an act; he really hates those people. It would have been pretty shitty to have been standing face to face at the end of the show (as we were, because our new friend Walter introduced us) and then he would be like, "hey you were that be-otch in the front row!"
