There's an article in The Word this month about audience heckling.
It reminded me of two of my favourites:
The first was Eric (son of Kirk) Douglas's failed attempts at a career as a stand-up comedian. During one particularly difficult set, in exasperation he said to the audience, "I'm Kirk Douglas's son!", to which an audience member shouted back, "No, I'm Kirk Douglas's son"...
The second was Bono at live aid (?), who started to slowly click his fingers. After a few seconds he said, "Every time I click my fingers, a child in Africa dies". The reply from the audience was inevitable: "Well stop doing it then!"
Don't know how true/accurate either of these are mind.
