Comedian apologizes for heckling other comedians at an open mic (Video)

On Tuesday, we posted a video of a comedian getting mercilessly heckled onstage in New York City during an open mic. In short, she was disrupting many comedians’ sets that night and then she took the stage. The video has since been removed from YouTube. However, the comedian dropped in to another open mic to apologize. You can watch it below. But we want to know what you think. Should she have apologized? And how do you think she handled the situation?

I feel like I’ve met 30 girls like her at open mics over the years. Also, 50 bucks says this girl has already given Hannibal a blow job.

‎”Remember the time that
chick wouldn’t shut up at that open mic and we all got a chance to
practice dealing with an actual heckler instead of being ignored by
other comics memorizing a set list that will also be ignored? Yeah me
too, it was great. I’m glad I went.” Recognize an opportunity when it’s
presented to you and make the best of it. She was a blessing in disguise
and no one took advantage of the situation the way they should have,
which was to grow as a comedian.

If the host isn’t gonna handle it, and
she gives you shit, grind out those 3-5 minutes to try and walk her
because you will absolutely have to do that more than once in your
career, and in a much less comfortable environment. The fact that it
was filmed and put out there, only further exemplifies the insecurities we
all harbor as comics. The only person that really benefits from this is
her, as it’s much easier to learn from your mistakes when there’s a
reminder with 50k views attached to it.

But hey, I’m just saying.

I only got ten seconds into this clip and think the crowd was rude to the Emcee.

She should have gotten off the stage after the applause break on “I promise I will never do it again.” I also think the guy going on after her, cheapened a heartfelt apology.

I don’t think her career should be ruined or anything like that. But I think the overall rule is “Comedians shouldn’t heckle or talk in the room while other comedians are on stage.” And I don’t think she’s the only one in that room who needs to learn that lesson.
