All my night owls take note: I can be found at the NY Improv at 1am this Saturday night.

I had a guy heckle me during my Star Trek bit last night. His point being that I need to be careful since people who write those shows live around here. I will at this time describe each type of Heckler that I'm familiar with.

Idiot: Sped who feels he/she needs to interject based upon something you've said. Their preference being to grind your act to a complete halt so they can get a point across. In some strange way they think, "Damnit this is an open forum!"

Douche Bag: Human Cancer who thinks that heckling is a part of the ticket price and they're fulfilling their end of the deal. Will often approach post show and proudly state that they were the heckler in question, as if you're going to hug them and raise their arm in victory.

Stewed: This is the patron who is so drunk they have no other choice but to disrupt. After all the club is serving carafe's of liquor and food coloring!

So my man from last night was firmly an Idiot. It should be noted he was playing bongos on stage shortly before he shit in my mouth. After the set he wanted to make it clear he didn't mean to bring attention to himself despite continuing to yell shit after I scolded him. He simply needed me to know that he knows a guy who writes Star Trek shows and he agrees with my take that at this point a hibernating Kodiak Bear could green light a script.
