    Mannn, as a Dutch person I'm embarrassed for her behaviour. She really thought it was an interactive experience for some reason.
    Your reflection is pretty accurate in the sense that Dutch people tend to be very direct and subtext is usually not the best way to get a point across.
    Which is difficult to infuse into comedy. Telling someone to shut up in a funny way is difficult.

    This person paints a bad picture of theirself and worse yet show's how selfish they are.

    Dutch people are very direct, when she asked you "should I leave?" you should've said YES, after the show she was acting annoying outside as well. I was at your show in Amsterdam, and I probably would have told her off a lot sooner. What I found more disturbing was at the end when that obnoxious couple tried to leave until you tried to tell "that" joke and he became all hostile, a shitty end to a difficult evening...I felt for you and your team, it's not the way to start in Europe. I hope this doesn't discourage you coming back to our sinking country in the future. Support act was great by the way (I forgot his name, don't tell him 😅)

      A lack of understanding of social cues, it is difficult to read the room for some people, we have differing brain types.
      For me as someone with an AuDHD brain type, I find it hard to read social cues given by people with Allistic/neurotypical brain types, yet NT brain types seem to find it difficult to read neurodivergent social cues.
      We speak different non verbal languages, studies have shown communication between the same brain types is more efficient than between differing brain types.
      Neither is wrong, it's just a funny quirk present in our speciation.

    It really sucks and is hard to watch because you're very empathetic with how you approach these kind of situations. Unfortunately, you're giving these people much more patience than they would ever give you if you dared interrupt them in their day to day life. I think a firm shutdown is the only way to get the point across because they don't understand subtlety, and if they still continue after that they'd probably have to be removed.

    I have some experience with standup and a little with hecklers/ disturbances. Sometimes I think people’s brains just takes off on the track of “this isn’t a performance, it’s a conversation”. Sometimes with a little bit of “human on stage funny, get laugh, I want laugh to, I funny” in various degrees mixed into it. I think It can be caused by alcohol or drugs, bad social awareness, bad impulse control, a bit of unwellnes- or a mix of it.
    Point is- WELL DONE. Drew is to this day the best at handling this kind of situations the I know of.

I find you hilarious, and if you come to Orlando, I'll try to get tickets to see a show,

    i don't see it like you snapped. the part that you introduced with "and that's when I snapped..." was the best remark imho! calm, not hurtful, on point with a fitting energy... a good joke!!! maybe it triggers feeling awkward or misplaced when you tap into that not often visited part of yours, at least I'm at times when I do. But I thought it suited you and you handled it well.... and there will be less anxiety with more experience hence calmness in those situations! you know how to play and hit... keep trusting yourself, brother! 💪

  • @LetsReadPodcast
    @LetsReadPodcast 5 місяців тому +1

    I think the number one way to handle hecklers is to make fun of them as hard as humanly possible, regardless if it makes them dislike you. This will entertain your audience and set an example that their complaints have little to no value in a setting built for comedy. It might even allow them to have a moment of lucidity where they aren't the center of the universe.

    Appreciate your commitment to your craft, dude. I’ve watched two of your videos addressing your viewpoint on these types of situations, and I find the way you articulate them to be very genuine and relatable. I’m not a comedian, largely because I couldn’t overcome the initial hurdle of just going out and doing the thing. Hearing an actual comedian share their honest thoughts, feelings and constructive thought process instead of fake alpha cope is both refreshing and a great reminder that we’re all just people.

    Another approach when you're about ready to blow -- like in this situation when they're not getting it; ask her to look at her ticket and whose name is on the event 🤣 And then be relieved "holy crap i thought *I* was the one confused. Thanks for helping me clear that up - hey everyone I'M THE HEADLINER" and you could even go so far as to walk out and come back to introduce yourself. It's funny and it would maybe reset the vibe too and you'd definitely have the control again.

    First bridge joke didn't work and so you did a second one and she thought the banter was continuing.

    You should've ignored her at 3:28 - I don't think she would've been able to keep it going like that if you don't give her attention. More than once you could've gotten back to your material but delivered another punch line against her. I think that is what escalated the situation, as well as the woman herself of course.
