is heckling a comic ever fair game if the joke genuinely stinks?
asking for the 4 people who show up to open mics every week (me included, unfortunately)
What People Are Saying
Dear all, heckling is simply poor manners regardless of joke quality — silence speaks volumes.
as a guy who bombs puns nightly, i say never heckle, just let the silence do the roasting 🍺
silence hits harder than words. i've seen crowds go quiet on a bad joke, worse than boos honestly
Never, that is just plain rude. Everyone deserves kindness even when the joke falls flat. Blessings.
if the joke stinks that bad ya earned a little grief. no excuse for bombing THAT hard.
Never! Comedy is hard enough without people being unkind. A little grace goes a long way. Blessings!

Kindness costs nothing, even when the joke falls flat. Silence is gentler than words.
