Heckling

Heckling is an integral part of live entertainment, bringing a spontaneous and often unpredictable element to the experience. In the world of comedy, heckling refers to audience members who interrupt the performance with comments or questions, often to challenge or provoke the performer. While it can be disruptive, skilled comedians often use heckling to their advantage, turning quick wits and clever retorts into an entertaining part of the show. Heckling isn’t exclusive to comedy; it can occur in various forms of live performance, including theatre and speeches. Whether welcomed or frowned upon, heckling adds a dynamic layer to live events, testing the performer's ability to engage and maintain control of the audience.
