The @NHL has announced the schedule for the opening games of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including two tentative dates for the #Oilers pending tonight's results. https://t.co/NOwuh6kEQD
@dangersuede Then why did the second act absolutely steal the show? Heard he was hilarious. You’re focusing on the fans (hecklers) instead of the comedian and content.
@dangersuede Dave opened the door for this with content and playing to 10s of thousands of people. If he can’t recover & serve his paying customers — that’s on him. I go to a concert — I stand up and sing — person behind me hates it, but it’s my instinct to do it. Hecklers instinct is to yell
@Tys35@duncankinney You’re blaming fans who also paid the same money and didn’t like the product. He’s the millionaire pro who people call the GOAT. He should be able to rally and serve his fans a show after being heckled. If you want to play it safe Dave, don’t do stadiums, clubs only.
@ryderfm Podcasting and social media is also to blame. Comedians may feel like your friend because you interact with them indirectly so much on a daily basis. You just assume crowd work is part of a set now. So jumping in, to a heckler, may be a chance to go viral.
@ryderfm But isn’t this the same story as his Calgary show? 20mins of killing it and then a heckler or two and people walking out. Why can’t the goat of comedy handle a heckler? It’s a stadium show with thousands of people. No way to keep everyone quiet.
@ryderfm It’s like when you go to a concert, your instinct is to dance and sing along to music. But to someone in front of you or beside you it may be annoying.
@ryderfm At any rate yelling expletives at comedians is just rude, but again when someone has the tagline of “the greatest comedian of all time” and plays a show with 15k people who payed $300 to be there, he should be able to rally after a loud heckler.
@ryderfm To some people it’s odd. Like when you’re with friends you jump in on the convo and agree or disagree etc. So hecklers often are just people who may be awkward or not sure how to act with a comedian.
@ryderfm Happens in stadiums. Thousands of people. A comedian has a unique job in which he or she holds a conversation with themselves. They ask a question, misdirect or answer it themselves and then deliver a punchline.
@theTonyFerrari Tell us you’ve never worked in sports/events planning/production without telling us you’ve never…
If the NHL could have a game every night from now until July 1st… they would.
To get more major infrastructure projects built faster in Canada, we have to shift our mindset from “why” to “how”.
