I don't know, personality wise I would probably trick the heckler into saying something dumb then turning it around on them.

Iv'e only seen one person insult a heckler and pull it off beautifully. "http://youtube.com/watch?v=Un0a46uRH7M&mode=related&search="

Joe Rogan's a bad ass. I do think it is fair game to tear a heckler apart if you feel like it, from the perspective of an audience member it is rude and tasteless to insult a stand up comedian.

But I'm thinking in terms of verbal non violence. Like when Gandhi marched on the salt factory. So you don't tear the heckler appart, because thats violent, and personally I don't think it's a very creative way of dealing with them. I want them to become annoyed by taking them completely seriously. Because comedy is really about truth, and telling it like it is, which is basically what Gandhi was all about. I think I'll read his books.
