- On 22nd May, 2014, John Robertson went to The Comedy Lounge in Perth, Western Australia. It was the day before his best friend's funeral, so he was feeling pretty terrible. Luckily, some idiot heckled.

He turned a heckle comeback into a fucking novel. A saga. I even cried in the middle. I applaud this man.
I will never understand why someone would serve themselves up on a silver platter to a comedian. Their entire job is to be funnier than you. You aren’t gonna win.
Aaron Tate some people just can't imagine that they aren't the very best person.
People do it on purpose because they want to see what the comedian comes up with.
Clearly, you're not Bogan Jesus.
Win what? What would constitute a win? Shit comedians get up in front of thousands of people every night, if you think they are all without question the funniest people in the room, you’re wrong. That’s like saying magicians are the most entertaining people in a room... which I’m pretty sure has never happened ever.
I've seen John perform live and met him many times...his improv response to hecklers is totally spontaneous ..his sharp wit is incredible and very funny
Saw him do The Dark Room at Edinburgh fringe and he was the funniest thing I saw all month . He was amazing
He's a stand up comic, it would defeat the purpose if he well y'know, sat
connor loman
LOL.
this is false. I'm sure that stand up comedians can sit
The video finished a few minutes ago. I'm still laughing away lol, :)
4 min in to a 14 min video "I won't keep going on about this"
+Bosk Boskson As it turned out, I was wrong. :-)
Mr John Robertson Which is awesome, cause this was hilarious!
+Bosk Boskson He does bring it on himself, though. You give him plenty of opportunities to get out of the situation and he just keeps inviting you on, thinking that it gives him some sense of validation.
Bosk Boskson😂😂😂
Was this whole thing improvised? Seriously impressive!
+Nik A No.
How can you tell?
+CockatooDude He can't tell. He's just a loudmouth.
***** Figured as much.
he actually is, i've seen him perform a few times in this Dark Room show and he's blistering quick at coming up with related observational comedy especially gaming related, billiant to watch live :)
I don't even know what you're on about half the time in this but I'm still laughing so hard
Well he mixed his own version of the "bible" into another version of fairy tale known as "bible" and created "Jesus idiot half brothers" saga. Interesting was hidden slight encouragement for audience to crucify this hecler after the show. As Atheist i gotta say that story was written hellawa lot better than original crap!
Damn, i wish I had a job where if I was feeling a bit shitty I could just fuck around and ramble for 14 minutes after some body said three words.
+Amt2451 I recommend teaching or hostage-taking.
+Mr John Robertson or comedy? Good job sirs!👏👏👍🏼
I don't imagine this is somehow easier than delivering a bunch of material that you've already written and rehearsed.
Paul Robert finally, spread the word. Some people seem to not understand. Ripping new assholes is a talent within itself
Amt2451 I do, because my office timesheets don't log increments of time less than 15 minutes. So basically, if it's a Monday morning and you feel a combination of minimally verbose and perhaps a little stupid, please do: come at me.
The sort of violent comedic metre of 'Haze of gelatin' and 'Turning water into domestic violence' really got me. Sorry to see VGN go, but look forward to seeing more of your material. HD, HV̲̅ !
That was both brutal and funny at the same time. Great stuff.
Pity you didn't get to do your planned set. But that was hilarious. Do you plan on doing any gigs in Ireland?
+JonSnowLives I'd love to, and I think I'm coming over for a big gaming event, but I don't have the details right now...
+JonSnowLives a good portion was probably planned or at least thought of prior. so in essence you are seeing a good part of the act. a comedian without heckler handling is like fucking without a condom. not saying he expected this exact situation but i am sure he has made a minimal plan for heckler rebuttal.

Yea, any decent stand-up comedian has a strategy or set of techniques for dealing with hecklers and rude people during a show. Just look at Steve Hofstetter. The guy is internet famous for how he deals with hecklers to the point where a lot of people question if the hecklers are planted/paid audience members (which they're not).
Some standard stuff I've seen comics do regarding hecklers:
-Repeat what the heckler said so the rest of the audience can hear what they said and how dumb they sound
-If what the heckler said is unclear, ask them to repeat what they said
-Win the rest of the audience over by complimenting them on their good behavior
-Hang the heckler by the rope he made for himself with his inane comment
-This can be done in a variety of ways and the degree to which the heckler needs to be humiliated depends on the situation
glad you never bothered with those bs comedy classes... thats shit they dont teach!
Cyge Firstcaste If you were replying to me (which I think you are), I'm not a stand-up comic, nor do I plan to be. I just like to think that I'm fairly observant after having watched quite a few routines and heckler videos. I would never deign to think that I could do what a lot of these stand-up comedians do. I neither have as quick a wit or as much life experience from which to draw on as these professionals do in order to dispatch hecklers with as seemingly little difficulty as they do.
Regardless, sometimes I guess you have to learn through experience how to deal with hecklers and rude people. Or have someone who's been in the business a while give you a few tips.
That was absolutely fantastic, rarely have I seen such quick-fire wit in my life.
Absolutely brilliant. It makes me want to heckle you myself just to get such awesome spontaneous humour.
I don't know who you are, I don't care who you are, I'm like everyone you've ever known.
This entire piece is gold.
do not heckle this man. A brilliant, thorough, hilarious dismantling. Even more impresive when you consider that it was all done off the top of his head.
This guy is the real joker! chills and laughs at the same time.
I LOVE the one confused "What?" In the crowd after "come and kiss my father"
I had no idea Drop Dead Fred was this hilarious! Unfortunately, that suit makes him look like the Kool-Aid Man after gastric bypass surgery.
Joel Farrelly OH YEAH!!!
Joel Farrelly *OH YEAH!!!*
Did you learn that word from boogie?
Drop Dead Fred was played by Rik Mayall.
And this guy cant be compared to Rik Mayall. Rik was a god.
This guy is amusing, sure, but he's no Rik.
This is one of the best heckler vids on youtube.
If you haven’t seen this man live. Go see him!!! It’s an experience in itself
absolutely beautiful
absolutely wonderful!
best heckler cut down I've seen yet even more impressive knowing he wasn't feeling 100% with having lost a best freind.
THIS CAN'T BE sperm of the moment. If it is, this guys a world level freaking comedy GENIUS! "in his model, just the punchline, none of the build-up"...brilliant. This has to be one of the all time "fish in a barrel" moments in THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Still laughing.
No sperm was spilled
had to pause half way through as i couldn't see the screen for crying with laughter, no holds barred the best heckler takedown ever.
first video of you've I've come across.liked the way you dealt with him.now going to go watch more of your material good job
i fucking love this man and i intend to go to the eb expo this year just to see him
Still sharp as a pin John, Keep rockin' em man!
you had me at 26 seconds! excelente job bro
You Sir, are a genius! 😂👏
That was bloody savage! I loved it! Way to go Mr Robertson!
he's so pissed haha this is great
Brilliantly done.
This is amazing
I needed this.....I only get to rant on a 5% level due to a lack of bail money. This is savage , Thank you! 🙌
No professional would give this much time to a genuine heckler.
Purely amazing.
I can't even word compared to this guy.
One of the best improvisers I have ever seen.
2 min in I had to pause it to breathe, was laughing too hard. Every once an a while youtube's suggestion algorithm digs up a gem for me.
Hi loved your set. I'm glad you come from Perth and also perform here. Live WA and can't wait for some sort of succession 😊
Sorry love WA
Nailed it!
Simply genius!
You got a great voice, man. Did you swallow liquid gold as a child producing the holy grail of voice boxes?
Ummm does that work?
the fucking "then god sent his only son to earth. and his idiot half brother" killed me.
This lets us all know brilliance vs intelligence. Intelligence is putting together a good show, brilliance is being able to take a moment and destroy! This is brilliance.
This guy must be a riot at parties
Really amazing talent! I would love to see you perform if you ever have a show in Los Angeles, California!
MAN, You are funny, & creative to come up w/ that !
You're one of the funniest people on the planet. No doubt about that.
+DarthBricks You are very kind.
+Mr John Robertson :)
thank you
Great work mate!! Channeling some Bill Hicks Energy. God damn yobbos!!
That was amazing
I love that this man has the same birth name as me, this guy is awesome
Hahaha you’re an easy lover
Nice profit on that job mate. Some of the best crowd handling on yt
I love when hecklers get owned in a crowd!
Never heard of this guy. Excellent comic
Incredible wit
Beautiful.
That was funny and deep at the same time. Like he was out to teach that man something.
This guy seems to be so energetic and fast. Hes like all those fast talking comedies personifies
Or has a great coke plug... maybe both?
well played sir
BRILLIANT!!
Yeah, you tell him John!
Those tense few moments between the heckler shouting out and him responding had me like "ohhh SHIT"
"...his mother walks funny too"
Fucking love it, the entire slam is GOLD!!!
1000 videos titled BEST HECKLER SMAKCKDOWN EVER!!! And the 1 that is actually the best 1 ever does not boast! Noice
must be Ausie humor.
Hi-Def High 5 was awarded. 🙋 When hecklers get REKT!
BRILLIANT !
You need to start going to America, man!
AGREED!
❤
Nah mate, hit Canada... we have better beer up here
I love this
A rehearsed heckle response.
Holy shit... That was amazing.
Damn... He is straight killing the poor guy I love it
"North Perth, which has about the same amount of dust as Bethlehem"...
But much longer odds on finding either a virgin, or three wise men.
Unless you are Bogan Jesus or his hand of virgin maidens 'Thumbalina, Indexia, Middela, Littleina and Indexia' who have yet to see the reverence of the devine true coming of the lord.
@@pusspaws2u611 Ah yes, the singing of Hosanna and laying on of palms at the coming of the Lord.
@@Paddy.C 🤣
ha ha go John!!
His Australian accent just makes this even funnier!
A punchline without a build-up? Sounds like Hedberg's comedy style.
Owned! Never laughed so hard...
Weird how these comedians talk about themselves in third person when clearly they are the ones uploading the video lol
Google Search Optimization 101
A Comedian ? How so ? There does it say " Comedy "
He's bogan Jesus.
... or someone looks after his social media for him.
What evidence makes it "clear" he uploaded. I don't think you understand how the internet works...
The bit where he said it was his first complete lucid sentence had me giggling.
turning water into domestic violence. This guy is geniunely really funny.
At some point, this stops becoming insulting and more like an act.
Pound Sterling Someone is feeling down.
Wow... that guy is genius level improv. Verily did I laugh.
And chuffed am I
The title was not clickbait, only GOD can resurrect him after this.
Brilliant! could not stop laughing at that! this kid is good!
Kid?
Is it me or does this comedian remind me of DROP DEAD FRED?
SirParcifal nice recall
Fuck me, I've been watching for seven minutes and it feels like twenty. This guy went OFF, and it's amazing.
Every heckler adds 4 minutes of material , but this guy is actually bogan Jesus...
cheers m8
On the note of 'She could be a Timelord' did anyone else see the thumbnail that made John look like Peter Capaldi?
😂😂😂
Heckling a comedian is like trying to slapfight a professional boxer.
is that maxmoefoe?
J Lo I thought it was Drop Dead Fred...
That's what I thought, so sad maxmoefoe would do rhat
when he stringed the sentence together near the end of the vid he went a bit irish lol
Mate you’re brilliant. Are you coming to the UK any time soon?
What a brilliantly insane individual
hahahaha fantastic
I can't STOP LAUGHING 👍👍👍😅😄😅👏👏👏😆😆😆🎭🎭🎭🏆🏆🏆
this is fucking brutal john, good on ya lad
I love his wit and hair
Eloquent.
