I once witnessed Sam Kinison deal with a heckler. One of the single most brutal show biz routines I've ever seen.

Kinison was an absolute genius, though.

He was a genius, but woe to the audience member who heckled. He'd come back not with the quick put-down, but twenty minutes of material that was so brutal, so obscene and so degrading that it wasn't like anything else in show business.

Kinison was a man in search of salvation. A very, very funny man in search of salvation. :) He died too young.
