No one knows who this guy is but I'm nicknaming him 'the cat' as he dies so many times...

"I like to suck cock"
The correct response should've been...do you want to meet me backstage? Not the crap he said.

As someone who is also doing open spots for stand-up I don't agree with mocking those people who have misjudged what material to use or are not as polished as they could be or get nervous or even as he did panic when the audiance start doing something unexpected. We're all trying and all acts who have someone actually worth saying will die on their ass at some point. He just seemed paniced and under attack rather than that much of a bad guy.
Although to be fair I don't know the kind of stuff he was saying beforehand and to be fair insulting one of the other acts for being a blonde and not in a jokey way and insulting homosexuals in a "laugh at how they don't make sense and are inferior" kind of way ect is not on, he was paniced and very devensive.

Yeah I think the guy panicked a bit and I don't think his gay joke was meant to be anti gay it was probably a joke that had got a laugh before and he was desperate for one. But then he lost it painfully and I think he has anger management problems, to say the least
Oh and I have to disagree with the sympathy for the blond. If shes a fellow stand up why the f**k is she heckling!?! No manners. Just trying to steal the limelight and impress her friends. Kicking a fellow comedian while hes down is disgraceful.

I liked watching that.
You never get to see stand up going wronga and that's what makes me scared off it!
Does anyone else have clips off bad stand up incidents? I think they can be more educational than good ones.
The probllem the guy made here has to be turning on the audience and acting like he was better then them. It became them against him!

Ouch. Painful!
Thanks for posting that video ContainsNuts. It makes you really appreciate good stand-up - and the art of being able to put down a heckler without just throwing insults (favourite I've seen: pull out mobile phone, pretend to talk, then announce to audience that the local carnival has just phoned to report they've lost a loud, drunk and opinionated pikey)
I hate to criticise too hard though - I'd never have the guts to stand-up on stage in the first place (I have heckled in the past though)

Yikes! Uncomfortable to watch indeed. I pity the poor chap, although he has made me want to go and seek out some quality standup - Jasper Carrott anyone?
