Not playing in Milton Keynes are you, Weststarx? That`s a popular heckle up there.

Yup to be honest, if no one said it at least once during any gig round this way, I'd miss it....probably end up shouting it meself!!

You could also say "sorry mate, drag night is Tuesday's, I think you've got your days mixed up".

Could this be a non event where the "get on with it" applied to the band that cancelled because they were slow between songs? Perhaps the heckler won't comment with your band?

I can't comment on how to deal with her, though as I have yet to gig; I like to think I would ignore her.

Hi Guys,

We've just booked a gig for next week due to a cancellation but been warned by the band that cancelled that there is always one lady that goes every week and likes to heckle the bands.

Personally I have never had anyone heckle me in any band I've been in, so I'm a little unsure how to deal with it!

Apparently her favourite line is "Get on with it!" in between songs.

Any advice on how to cleverly deal with a heckler?

Thanks

if she has in issue with the time between songs, id make her wait longer. after a couple of times say we'll play the next song when she comes out with better material.

Saw this once at a comedy club, the comic held up his hands for quiet, looked straight at heckler and said "let's all wait for her to think up a really good heckle". Everyone looked at heckler who was so embarrassed she left

I would have gone with:

"If you want my come back, you'll have to scrape it off your mums teeth first"

She's obviously a shallow one, she.
I think the best thing to do is not responding directly, but to just continue your little inbetween-songs banter about the development of Weltschmerz as a direct result of Sturm und Drang thinking, and Kierkegaard's criticism of it all.

Enlightened, she'll turn around!
I'm sure.

It's a female heckler, I thought ?

females have mums too.

Not a response I'd personally use, but just pointing out the gender of the heckler is irrelevant. ;)
