Entertainment pros call people out. We don’t need to call them out to shame them ( I think shame is useless ), but we call them out so the crowd knows the mission<\/a>. It’s extreme, it’s disruptive, and it takes responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scot Nery’s Boobietrap<\/a> has a tradition of throwing snacks to the audience. One night there was a grumpy couple in the crowd. I told them to open up and have fun. Someone told me the woman got hit in the face with snacks and she was upset (everyone gets hit in the face with snacks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make it fun, we offered them prosecco and more snacks. They did not cheer up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the next act, I told them they were welcome to leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man said “No, we’re here to see Josh.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I replied, “Well, you’re in luck because Josh is next! Josh can you go next?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh performed, did great. They clapped and cheered up, then I told them it was time to go and leave the rest of the show to the rest of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They mumbled, picked up their motorcycle helmets and walked out. Told me I wasn’t funny and the show sucked. I pointed out that nobody else agreed. The crowd roared. I had the ticket person meet with them on the way out and hand them their money back and they loudly complained to her so the whole audience could hear. I shouted after them, “You were the only ones here with helmets! You should have worn them!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point: I did it for everyone else<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t call them out for <\/p>\n\n\n\n
