Dealing with hecklers is one of the hazards of being a stand-up. But do they help or hinder the show?

They share their experiences and tips on how best to handle hecklers at a live gig.

A Facebook fan following, four years of sell-out Fringe shows, TV appearances from the BBC to MTV. Little wonder stand-up and comic writer Kev F.
