    There was one where the golfer Colin Montgomerie was taking his shot and a heckler shouted "Mrs Doubtfire " . He lost the rag completely and proceeded to angrily remonstrate with person

    Another where the singer Ryan Adams was performing and a heckler kept shouting play " Summer of 69" He lost the plot completely and got him barred

    Most heckles are fairly tedious.

    Particularly at stand-up comedy shows, where someone in the crowd wants to be the centre of attention. It's not exciting or new, it's just boring. Some comics respond well, others throw out lazy insults and go back to their set.

    Any heckling in golf is equally tiring. "Mashed Potatoes" off the tee just makes you sound like a child, and unfortunately inspires others to follow suit.

    Actor David Niven after someone streaked at the Oscars: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was almost bound to happen. But isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?”

    A lad at the back of a stand-up show I was at called out "You're ruining our evening."

    Hecklers should be executed. Irish ones are particularly unfunny.

    It's a favourite heckle though too good to be true! Seems to be a rehash of a Jimmy Carr joke.

    When U2's Bono announced that every time he clapped a child in Africa died, someone from the audience told him to stop clapping.
