I really enjoy stand up comedy. However, I personally like female comedians but there are so few of them! I did watch Ali Wong's comedy specials and she is hysterical. I wish there were more comedians out there!

I like Ali Wong, too. And Nikki Glaser.
I also really like Sebastian Maniscalo. And yes, I know he's a guy.

I like the female comics too, one female comic got in trouble in the 1990's forgot what she did, Paula Poundstone, then she just faded away.. Then there is Amy Schumer who talks nothing but sex in her shows... Another good Comic in his day was Richard Pryor, I remember he once ended his performance by lighting a match and said there goes Richard Pryor,(he was making a joke about when he burnt himself or he caught himself on fire I forgot what he did, but he had some serious burns as I recall.). Richard Pryor did some good acting too he was in that 1989 film "See No Evil, Hear No Evil".

All comics have issues with hecklers, and comics are taught how to handle a heckler. It flips both ways there are professional hecklers who are taught how to handle a comic's comeback to a hecklers response. Hecklers can be darn funny and out do the comic. Sometimes a new comic cannot stand up to the pressure put on my a heckler and they fall apart... If it was me I'd rather be a heckler than a comic, just like your better off being a hammer than a nail.
Sometimes hecklers work in teams they space themselves out in the audience and work in for the "kill". Then of course you have the lone heckler, or just a regular guy who just can't resist saying something back to the comic, many times they had too many drinks or are on drugs, or just doing it for kicks and to impress their girlfriend.

There are some good videos of a heckler taking down a comic. Sometimes it gets physical. Sometimes a professional hackler is so well known that security can spot him and prevent him from entering the club.

I heard some hecklers belong to a union if that's really true "Heckling" is a regular industry or job just like being a waitress or waiter, or mopping floors. I always thunk a heckler was a lone guy with nothing to do but poke fun at a comic. My question would be where would a heckler draw his paycheck from if he was in a union, who does he work for? Maybe part of the admittance fee goes to the heckler, I wonder if some hecklers work with -or work as a team employed by the comic so the comic can show how good he is at shutting up a heckler- Heckler "plants" in the audience in other words to liven up the gig. My favorite heckler would be lone guy real heckler who is not part of anything just a regular lunch box Joe out for some kicks, at the comic's expense of course. Such heckler-comic exchanges can be darn funny.

I’m not a comic but as a librarian I don’t want kids making fun of the books I choose Because the like the live exchange and challenge to show their chops and off the cuff wit. I know you want to live a totally On the Script life like your POTUS who can't even field a question but other people like to use their intellect and humor.
