In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Merrick Watts, comedian, radio legend, and all-around top bloke, to talk about the art of handling tough crowds and why comedians have to scan the room like a tactical operator before stepping on stage.
In this hilarious and insightful chat, we cover:
👉 The wildest hecklers Merrick has faced (and how he shut them down).
👉 Why comedians have to assess the audience for potential "threats" before a show.
👉 The difference between a good heckle and someone who just wants to ruin the night.
👉 How crowd work can turn chaos into comedy gold.
👉 The crossover between comedy, resilience, and staying sharp under pressure.
This isn’t just about stand-up—it’s about reading people, owning the moment, and knowing when to roast, when to roll with it, and when to shut someone down with precision timing.
