Put your best UNIQUE come-backs here. Different from "show lines" or heckler stoppers" they are snappy come-backs which show that you are awake, alert and ready for active duty. (O.K. some of them are heckler stoppers but they don't have to be)

Jay, I hope you're like this in real performance instead of being polite and nice like on your billiard ball DVD. Please don't disappoint me. I'll be heart-broken. This one doesn't seem funny as read but said with just the right timing gets a great laugh. Spectator says something, does something that is unwanted by you or tries to mess you up, or touches props they should not (basically anything like that). I stop talking, stare them down for about 2 seconds and say in a slightly scolding way: "Now how is that helpful?" I find that lines like these are very strong character lines and get big laughs because of that. I also think they are funny because you appear to be going off script and you seem to be speaking impromptu. A rehearsed ad-lib.

Frank... There is no need to be edgy, on the DVDs, because I'm there to share what I know with my peers.
At a show however, anything can happen. - - - - - - - - Lady - What else do you do, during the week. Reply - I run a corporation where we provide speciality performances that require me to answer phones, design & build props then schlep them all over town- but it's completely unrelated to what you see here.
