  • BOLLOCKS

  • I don't mean to sound too bad, but one of the rules that pretty much all experienced stand ups follow, is that you should never react instantly to the heckler. As that makes you look nervous, and desperate.

    And to be honest, when he reacts to the heckler, he does come across (to me certainly) as being desperate to take the hecklers lines and twist them, like he does with the bus line and bollocks line.

  • @rorrt Cheers Logan.

  • @TheDensley7

    :O)

  • Nice mirror ball at 6:10, but where's the high-backed armchair and semi-circular toilet mat?

  • I love this one. He took him out like he was nothing.

  • lmao

  • How did the heckler pwn Herring? by getting thrown out? by looking like a total douche? oooooooooook

  • Why didn't that A-hole get chucked out earlier? Love you Herring!

  • The Heckler looks like David Lynch

  • @Benlamb1988 is that the guy from THIS IS SPARTA!!! ?, cause he looks like that guy :)

  • I love Richard Herring, he's under appreciated. He represents comedies dark under-belly, him, Frankie Boyle and a handful of others.

  • This may appear quite stereotypical but why are all bus drivers complete and utter wankers

  • Lol he gets paid the same either way the heckler wouldn't let him get a joke out tho tbh I have seen funnier comedians than rich herring he's not fantastic but he's alright

  • FAKE, only way this asshole can be interesting is a fake heckler

  • @Daskeladden1 This is definitely NOT a set-up. I've seen him live twice; he is stunningly quick at tackling audience members who shout out! Richard's been doing the comedy circuit for over 20 years, and is very intelligent (Oxford graduate!); it's not actually that surprising he is this good at dealing with hecklers...

  • @musicguy550 obviously not as stewart lee looks and sounds nothing like the heckler

  • @musicguy550 That's not Lee. Although could still have been part of the act.

  • i thought the heckler won.

  • @jed371 Have to kind of agree, thought Herring was a bit up himself with the whole, "ooh I'm getting paid no matter what..." also the thing about Herring is, hmm haven't seen him for a while....

  • "This bloke goes to work on a farm, roit."

    That set up was golden. Damn you, Herring.

  • scrembo i think your the guy herring was owning

  • Awesome... I hate hecklers.

  • Kept his cool well, I would boot that heckling twats face in.

  • To anyone that thinks that the bus driver should get stabbed.. It's absolutely disgusting to joke about stabbing, but it's if you're serious about it.

  • Go Richard!

  • BOLLOCKS!!

  • Scrembo, are you retard, special or just a fucking idiot ?are you watching the same video as all the normal people

  • @scrembo No wonder you are so consumed by hate of the 'nancy liberal' (i.e: a person with social sentiments) Richard Herring that you actually believe he didn't tear this drunk moron apart. After all, he did a show which mocked your great hero and sexual fantasy figure, Hitler.

    Stick to Bernard Manning clips and hark back to the good old days when comedy was about keeping the darkies and gays in their place.

  • @scrembo The heckler 'owns' him? Are you being sarcastic?

  • @broomheadleg pwned by heckler, he sucks

  • @FatKnuckBitch That's a vague comment. Who sucks?

  • @scrembo We we watching the same clip. I heard a pissed up twat made to loook like a right mug. Herring made him look so pathetic.. I actual felt bad for the drunk cunt.

  • @scrembo hmmmmm

  • @scrembo you like a Milton Friedman video, which is excellent. I love economics. But I'd have to disagree with you on Herring. He's definitely funny, and what has 'nancy liberalism' to do with anything?! Also, Friedman was one of the main proponents of classical liberalism. You probably don't like him because he's a member of the BHA.

  • @MrFinerty I'm definately a fan of Milton Friedman and theres some fine clips of his here on youtube. I'm not quite sure where he fits into this though? hehe.

  • This can only happen in the U.K,in the States security wpuld have escorted that heckler out of the club with five minutes of the comedian's act.

  • he's very good and charming. i pestered Mr Herring on the streets of leamington spa, trying to get him to come to a sweetshop so i could take his picture in front of the jars. He politeley declined.

  • hahaha

  • I think he should of been invited up on stage....

    For a public hanging, preferablyl.....

  • It should become customary that everytime a heckler gets chucked out, everyone should sing 'nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye'.

  • don't joke about murder on the orient express

  • I know hecklers ruin gigs, but this was hilarious. Bravo to Richard, this kind of thing shows just how good he is. He can think on the spot and make it constantly, which is rare for most comedians.

  • "I've got a microphone here, I don't know if you've spotted it' Priceless

  • bollocks! 

  • First time I've seen this EXQUISITE clip..... I wonder if the lovely David Mitchell saw it before me???? There IS a link!!!! Herring's brilliant if frustrated politeness in the face of an vastly out-classed idiot is priceless....

  • First time I've seen this EXQUISITE clip..... I wonder if the lovely David Mitchell saw it before me???? There IS a link!!!!

  • Ha you said 'Aside', you are tiny Andrew Collins. Dick.

  • @redstonic I'm sure he's not really a dick. Aside, I'm not sure.

    I do love this clip.

  • aside from him ripping the shit out of the heckler, some of this gig looked pretty tragic

  • Why did they even let him go that far?

  • i want to reach into the tv and pummel that guy soo hard i would just stamp on his face what a fuckin tosser....spoiled the whole gig,someone in the audience should of bottled him

  • who kicked out the cable hooking up the bass? my ears almost burst with the treble boost

  • I think I like Stewart Lee far more...however, and whilst I agree some parts were horrible, heckling in general doesn't tend to end well and doing stand-up is probably the most horrifying thing to me...ever. So, for him taking it on for as long as he did, and then getting pissed off and a bit nasty isn't that surprising to me. I'd have told him to fuck off in the first instance, and have gotten security called.

  • Maybe it's me, but does anybody else think that he looks a smidge like David Spade? Hmm, interesting.....

  • fng piss head

  • I'm a bus driver! Best heckle ever.

  • The fact that his workday is only 20 minutes long was thre real last laugh on the heckler. lol

  • thats actually a great joke at the begining

  • That heckler made one of the most hilarious stand-up scenes ever, proving Richard Herring is one of the best comedians out there, natural talent

  • Well, that bloke was a cunt.

  • Judgung a comedian when he dosent get to

    tell any jokes is like walking into a bakery and complaining because you havent had anythingto eat yet.

  • This guy gives bus drivers a bad name. Most of them are decent people and haven't been mugged.

  • He's probably the sort of bus driver who sees old people hurrying for the bus and drives off just before they get there.

  • at about 4:00 he rubs his face and ear .. shows hes holding back and hide his anger. He really REALLY wanted to just kick the shit out of him! lool

  • Decent job by Richard, you would need to be on top form to deal with this type of stupidity. To be fair though I don't think you can say the guy was slammed, Richard himself says he managed to pretty much ruin the gig. Telling the guy to kill himself or asking others to kill him isn't exactly rapier like wit. Bill Hicks was the daddy for dealing with hecklers.

  • @ altsan thats exactly what i been trying to say. i agree.

  • I think you're right; Richard let the heckler get under his skin, and you can see how much he's being thrown off by it. There are some great lines in there (I love the 'bring your own amplification system' bit), but there are some fairly poor ones too. I suppose you're going to drop the ball a few times if you're ceaselessly heckled for ten minutes. He could probably have handled the situation better, but he was in an impossible position really. The bloke should have been thrown out earlier.

  • Nice Job. That was hilarious. "Bring your own amplification system" HAHA

  • dude u need to watch the video again carefully. he got completely thrown off by the heckler.

    yes he got escorted out of the room but a heckler's job is to throw off the comedian and he succeeded in this one so in my book richard lost.

  • ifb you think that your a moron

  • @jdiazyt Heckler's job was "bus driver". That's probably the most he will achieve.

  • jdiazyt

    how did he got owned?

  • BOLLOCKS!

  • Bollocks!

  • "don't joke about murder on the Orient Express?"  hahahah

  • The range of emotions going across Herring`s face as the confrontation develops is a drama in itself.

    Cutting the guy off as he`s telling his joke was a clever sidestep, but I`m wondering how good the joke about the farm was, poss. it would have been a better tactic to let him say it & see what came out.

    Herring owes the guy a favour as with the short version of this on YT at almost a million views it hasn`t done his career any harm.

  • the suicide was okay but stabbing is out of the question

  • this is painful.

  • Comment removed

  • "I had to tell you the date earlier on, mate." hahaha. :'D

  • "i'm funnier than you.... I'm a bus driver.... that's not a bad heckle actually."

  • 3:33 freggin GENIUS!

  • A recent episode of The Office(US) stole the joke at the begining. I don't mean anything by it... I love The Office and this guy seems really funny.... just something I noticed.

  • Where was security?

  • He's a funny bastard, and he fairly successfully,took the heckler in his stride YEOWW

  • I agree. It's horrible when he starts doing the "when you were saying bollocks before I'd finished my joke, it was okay wasn't it?" part.

  • Gotta love the Herring

  • brilliant

  • He's a comedian. If you take something like that seriously then you have no business going to an act. Go rot.

  • I bet you drive a bus...

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, imagine saying offensive material, during a stand-up gig, to someone who's already proven himself an odious shit of a human being. Why wasn't he just nice to the drunk arsehole?

  • It was you wasn't it. XD

    It was just a joke! The only bad thing about it was that it's a shame he got so riled up he got a bit mean.

    Plus, I really don't think he would have been mortally offended had the guy gotten up and walked out, in fact, that would have pretty much good. ;-)

  • Wow, why would somebody make a douche bag out of themselves like that. Why wasn't that guy thrown out earlier?

  • "Is he part of the act?"

    "Well me might be after this!"

    LOL

  • Not funny? He's fucking brilliant!!

  • Hopefully get a pity fuck...

    I mean, is there any other kind mate?....

    HAHAHAHAHA FUCKING LEGEND

  • That little gleam in Herring's eye as he takes that guy out is adorable.

  • 2nd rule of heckling maybe bring your own amplification system!

  • ha that was insanse

  • BOLLOCKS!!!

    That's the word you scream when there's brief silence.

  • word to hecklers - dont call us lot "mate" it just makes us angry

  • hahahaha hes awesome.

  • His anti heckler thing is funnier then his actual stand up. :P

  • Paidday...let me know the next time you planon going to a movie...I will sitrightnext to you and talk on the phone. Please bitch...I am pointing out that hecklers are inconsiderate asses. people go to hear thre comedian not to listen to some asshole who "thinks" he's funny. You are the one excusing behavior. An you are an ass an if I knew who you were...I would prove it by applying your logic.

  • it says soho revue bar in the background...

  • What venue was this?

  • it's the wambam club you chucklehead. look at the channel. =)

  • Oops thats right! Thanks. I dont get much sleep. I am often somewhere else, usually in la la land!

  • Chucklehead is an awesome word and made my day. :)

  • It's not really a mean word, that's why I like it.

  • Wow Richard is fantastic!

  • No the Hecklers at Kramers show were inconsiderate idiots too.Kramer (Michael Richards) just responded like a bigger idiot. I don't think (I don't really know) he is a racist. I suspect he got frustrated and frankly wasn't clever enough to come back and so he did what a child would do. He picked a physical feature to make attack to make someone feel bad about themselves. It's pathetic really. But the hecklers shouldn't have been starting shit either.

  • BOLLOCKS!

  • ha ha this so amazing

  • I wasn't sure if the crowd was 'oohing' for or against Richard with the whole Heckler bit, but the applause when the guy left answered that bit. ^_^

    Did he ever get to tell the 'piss joke'?

  • He did deal with it very well, particularly as you can see the anger and frustration building up in him! It must have been so tempting just to go over there and punch that guy in his stupid face!

  • lets hope the doorman gave him a slap on the way out

  • "Half my working day has gone. And now its time for my lunch break!" lol.

  • Dont joke about murder on the oriental express

  • "Dont joke about murder on the Orient Express " Lol.

  • Saw Richard Herring last night in Warrington and he was awesome.

    The heckler at this gig was a bit of a nob.

  • I don't think it ruined his life. I reckon that guy does shit like lthis all the time.

  • Seems the guy has ruined his own life, anyone who turns up drunk to a performance obviously loathes themself.

  • Who's a prick ? Richard ?? Are you a retard?? How fucking easy do you think it would be, for example, for that humourless arsehole to drive his bus while some other witless idiot shouts drunken abuse at him: "Bollocks turn ! That turn you just made was fucking bollocks! BOLLOCKS !!!" You idiot.

  • Of course not Richard. The Heckler. I thought that was obvious. Richard Herring destroyed him.

    Why are you being abusive towards me??

  • Well, I would have thought it was obvious ! I was being abuse (not THAT abusive, mind you, considering) because I thought you were talking about Richard... The way you phrased it, it wasn't such a stretch - if I recall correctly, word-for-word: "What a prick. He totally destroyed that guy." So you can see where the confusion lies - I see you even deleted your original post, so you must have realised how it came across too.

    No worries...

  • Jesus thas a rough crowd ...

  • This guys immense.....only just come across him today hahahaha

  • I love the way Richard feigns interest in the heckler's joke before destroying him!

    "There's this guy goes to work on a farm.."

    "Right. Yeah"

    "And then.."

    BOLLOCKS! BOLLOCKSBOLLOCKSBOLLOCKS!

    LOL

  • "BOLLOCKS!" :)

    I don't know why prats like that guy turn up to gigs. I just hope that he really enjoys making peoples lives that extra bit harder everyday. The complete fuckbrain.

    And if it is any consilation, I think Richard Herring dealt with it very well. I'd like to see anyone else do better in that situation, because he certainly didn't have alot of support from the audience.

  • I think only Jimmy Carr would have ripped him a new one with more style.

  • not rly just in a nice suit

  • haha

  • I'M A BUS DRIVER!

  • No. Some of them are tool like you.

  • No all hecklers are assholes. There is no point to them. Even if the comedian isn't that funny, if you heckle him he will be even less funny... lose/lose

  • You've never heard a funny heckle?

  • and to you I say... Bollocks.

  • What a twat that heckler is! Richard Herring is a legend! Just goes to prove that most bus drivers are mental!

  • I fucking love Herring and Stewart Lee but didn't learn until recently that they used to be a duo

  • Glad it ain't only me thats slow!! lol. Started listening to Collings & Herring Podcasts and Rich mentioned it. I'm like WHAT? What makes it worse is I love Stew too! Tho not enough to know his work it seems. lol :) (tell Sid I came!)

  • This is ma favourite video ;o)

  • fucking HATE hecklers- why do they do it? theyre cunts....i had a go at a heckler in the break at the last stand up gig i went to haha...maybe it wasnt the smartest thing as he was twice my height rough skinhead guy.... but i told him "thanks for fuckin spoiling the last act for us mate..." etc- luckily he wasnt waiting for me outside after the gig haha... maybe next time i'll only have a go at tiny midget hecklers just to be safe though :P

  • yeah, there's people in this world who have no talent of their own, so all they can do is try to destroy it in others. great to see herring take him out.

  • but i'm a bus driver!!

  • hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

    he could of gone the bill hicks route but didnt...so well done...

  • Brilliant. I love this video. Herring pwns the drunken moron.

  • should have been Richard Herring Bums A Heckler

  • Richard 1 Heckler 0 . . . He got owned!!

  • You tell him Richard!!

  • ha ha, nice one Rich - powerslam!. You do realise however, the 2nd rule of heckling is also 'don't get so pissed you can't think'

  • Go Mr Herring.  He must hate people like this heckler and rightly so.

  • he's not your average comedian, he's got witt, and thats much more humorous than your Jim Carrey, Chris Rock or Dane Cooke humor.
