Although it might seem like all you have to do is get up on a stage and tell some jokes, it’s not easy making a name for yourself as a stand-up comedian. The fact that you have to expose yourself and be completely vulnerable in front of a large group of people who are expecting to be entertained is definitely not comfortable.
As a stand-up comedian, you need to be able to overcome situations where someone in your audience doesn’t appreciate your jokes or your humor and is not afraid to share his or her thoughts about your act in public.
The stand-up comedian in the video below knows all about the difficulties involved in performing in front of a large group of people.
Luke Capasso had to deal with a bully in his audience who had something negative to say about his performance, particularly a thought he had on banana bread. The way he shut the heckler down is going viral.
Luke managed to get the crowd back on his good side with his reply, and the show went on without a hick. This heckler definitely picked the wrong comedian to mess with.
