I actually enjoy being heckled; it keeps it interesting, and I think it is a nice feeling for people once they have left the show.

I love hecklers. They remind you that you are a comedian.

I don't get many hecklers now but answering them is an art form in itself.

I guess I'm sort of spoiled because, most of the things that I get to do, people know that you're a good improviser, so they allow you at least one improv take, and for comedy, that's great.

There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

I think my comedy, the put-downs I do to hecklers, are the accumulated bitterness of years of people feeling that it's perfectly acceptable to make a comment on your appearance when they don't even know you.

I think there's something really freeing about improv, that it's a collective, creative, in-the-moment piece. That's really exciting and really frustrating, because it's there and gone. There's an amazing interaction with the audience that happens because they are very much another scene partner.

There have been some very extreme hecklers in audiences whose bile was so hateful and so meant that it would be a bit frightening to think that all I'm doing is jokes and yet someone hates me that much.

The average person is gregarious; there is something in the spirit of the crowd that adds to the enjoyment of entertainment.
