Comedian Natalie Cuomo had an unexpected response when heckled during her weekend shows in Washington D.C., leaving the audience speechless and sparking debate online.
It’s common to see comedians face hecklers, who might be seeking a reaction or simply don’t like the show. Usually, comedians respond with heckle material that can be either funny or harsh.
On 3 February, as Natalie Cuomo was closing her weekend shows, a man in the crowd started heckling her after she joked that he was in a relationship with his friend. The man said, “It’s not my fault that you don’t have material. I can roast you too, you can’t roast all of us and get nothing.”
