Hecklers

Hecklers and interruptions, unfortunately, are as inevitable as bad weather and taxes.  Whether you're a cruise ship magician, a motivational speaker, a coffeehouse folksinger or a nightclub comic there will be occasions when you'll need to dig into your bag of tricks to deal with various kinds of interruptions and get the audience refocused.

In Hell Gigs and Hack Lines, the book and CD, comedian Paul Frisbie tells you how to do it.  Techniques range from the gentle methods you might employ with a heckler at a corporate presentation to the no-holds-barred, go-for-the-throat tactics you'd need for the Friday late show in a comedy club.

The book is a primer in stagecraft, and the CD brings it all to life with a series of hilarious tracks from Paul's own live performances. 

Hecklers are just an annoyance.  There's no reason a heckler should ever be able to ruin your show.
