I assumed alcohol was involved. Those wooos sounded very much like every 'drunk girl' I've known when "having fun" and making sure they let everyone else know (I was on meds that was not compatible with alcohol through my uni & clubbing days I was always the designated driver/sober buddy when going out with friends, several of whom have been incredibly obnoxious when drunk... difference being, usually if I would tell them to tone it down they would do so, and be immediately apologetic for being annoying "and do you still love me?" lol - I miss my friends from back then).
I’m so glad you made sure not to embarrass her instantly but instead give her a discreet warning that got more and more serious as she kept going. You handled it so incredibly well, even though she didn’t deserve it
I do know he wasn’t born with it. It was a baseball accident that caused it, so I figured over time he would be able to work on it, and fix it over time.
Funny how no one asked you. It’s almost as if we can see and hear that for ourselves in the video. You’re the annoying girl that got kicked out, aren’t you? I can tell. Still speaking up with no reason to
It’s very disruptive, especially if you struggle with stutter to ignore loud woooohs when telling jokes. If there is woohs when people are clapping at the end of an act and drew is quiet and laughing or smiling it’s different then when you are in the middle of a story and trying to get the delivery correct. She got so many chances.
Can you explain to me a bit better why she got kicked out? I'm genuinely asking. From the video, it just looks like she did it a few times at the end of jokes. Was it way more than that? Was it super loud? It just feels like (from the video) that she got kicked out for having a good time at a comedy show
@@gracecodd4378It was super loud and high pitched and very disturbing to the people around her. He mentioned a few times the people around her looking bothered by her and vigorously nodding when he asked her to stop. It was also probably quite distracting to him. Regardless of the original reason she started doing it, once he directly asked her to stop then she needed to stop.
Reminds me of my friend. I told him, for example, when playing a game called sea of thieves. Not to move the boat. And if he wants to. Tell us first before you start doing it. I told him multiple times. And he just ended up on his own free will. He moved the ship and then said he’s going to move the ship. By then he was already sailing away. Moral of the story in my story and this comedy is. “Listen” and remember to be respect and take a hint
In all honesty, "we're still friends, but we're almost not" is such a powerful line. It really establishes the current situation with possibly the least amount of words you could have used. I guess there's a first time for everything, at least it happened after 12 years and not right away!
@@illustriousmayor2478 he flat out explained why they would no longer be "friends" and she is the one that abused it and continued on anyway. It is no fault on Drew. He handled it better than pretty much anyone else would have. The reason she called him a dick is because she is a self-absorbed person that only cares about her own person experience above everyone.
As someone who tends to be too loud at the wrong times because of a mental disability this actually makes me feel better about it because of how many times you checked in on her and made sure it was of her own volition and that she knew she was being disruptive before you took measures to actually get rid of her. You handled this really well
R/surprisinglywholesome Yeah her reaction especially at the end made me think it's some kind of mental health issue, but still, you can only have so many chances. And any good person will wake up thr next day and not feel resentful lol
I must say I rarely think to myself that there might be disabilities of some sort behind these things when I encounter them. I do often seem to be the only person irl that thinks some people I know well have something going on that they can't control but wish they could. And therefore there could be something undiagnosed going on. For example extreme overtalkers I care about. They must have some social intuition to realize that they've lost the person or group with the intense talking at them vs with them chronicly. Anyways thanks for sharing this. It's a great point and reminder that I could of missed or miss when interacting with others. ❤
@@K_Riss1 Drunk women especially get super loud and disruptive. It happens to men too but some women just can't hold their alcohol in the slightest and turn into an angry drunk. Also, women lack a protein to break down the alcohol which is why women tend to get more drunk then men.
As someone with Tourette’s oh my god thank you so much for actually having us in mind! I’m always afraid that if I tic in public people will think that I’m just trying to be rude.
My mom gave me the best advice I have ever heard “no one cares about anyone but themselves” It just means people are inherently self focused so chances are if you tic or even do something embarrassing people won’t notice. Even if they do, they will forget about it in seconds or minutes because they go back to thinking about themselves. Even if someone thinks you’re rude, it’s not your fault! You can’t control it. It’s on them if they let it bother them.
@A Z You realize that you don’t have to watch his content if you don’t think he’s funny, right? And what does your conspiracy theory about him have to do with my comment?
The fact that you gave her the benefit of the doubt by assuming she might have tourettes is awesome. I dont have tourettes but I have my own mental disorders and it means a lot to me that you take these potential disorders into consideration
@@Willowposting Because what he said in the moment did not sound at all like what he said in the narration. All he did was say, "Gosh... 911;" How's that supposed to weed out a case of TS? That was just part of his bit in dealing with the heckler.
@@-108-if the girl had Tourette’s why wouldn’t she apologize and say she had Tourette’s? Like what? She had multiple opportunities to say something. This was obviously some drunk asshole.
`Yes we all just heard it. We all saw the same video. Why are people quoting what we all just witnessed? I don't understand. Why can't people just add new thoughts in the comment section, add something new to this world instead plagiarism. It's driving me nutz honestly, every video has several of these comments. What are they adding? Is it just bots? I think it's bots. Ban these bot accounts please.
@@ddc7744 it is quite serious though. Because it's literally on every single video. This was not the case 10 years ago. Something has happened. I believe it to be bots or mindless humans. Either or, it's an issue. It's called the comment section for a reason, not the reaction section where u react by shouting out what you just heard.
As someone whose mind goes blank when interrupted, the fact that you could remember all of your jokes, perform, and make it look easy is a testament to your professionalism. Truly impressed. I'm surprised no one else throttled her before she was escorted out.
i lose my train of thought immediately when im talking and i can hear myself through someone else's mic on teams or on the phone too, its like brain A and B can't be active at the same time
Omg same here. If someone derails me mid thought or statement whatever was coming after the interruption just vanishes. It's very very irritating so I think Drew just did a masterclass on how to remain respectful while also homicidal lol. If I were either with her or was seated around her I would've smacked her in her stupid mouth then drug her our by her hair. I don't think all these people would allow me to get arrested behind it either...
@@FroisonControlI can’t multitask if I’m talking deep in conversation when before I was told or have to get something I’ll still talk then I’ll realize I got the wrong thing and that’s when I shut up feeling stupid and like a chatterbox😂😂
My wife and I were at this show. I was so embarrassed for the city of Des Moines and disappointed that you had to deal with this drunk. This is not the type of behavior typical of Iowans and people of Des Moines. The crowd definitely had turned on her and she deserved to be removed. You handled it with such grace and class. We have seen you live three times, twice in Des Moines, and once in Omaha in 2021. We love you and hope that the actions of one person doesn't deter you from coming back. We will definitely be buying tickets for next year! (hint, hint)
@@thehomelesshebrewsif you listen apparently she had been doing it for the entire show…I thought his attitude was shitty to begin with! At the end of the day she probably paid for her ticket….but at the same time so did everyone else!
@@thehomelesshebrews It was pretty obvious. We were only a few rows behind her and escorted right past me as my seat was on the aisle. She had to be helped walking out because she couldn't do so on her own. You were not there. It was not one time. What you see in this video is well after Drew asked multiple times for her to stop interrupting his show. He was very nice and polite and handled the situation with grace. But she would not stop. The crowd turned on her LONG before this happened and Drew kept asking the crowd to ease up. He practically BEGGED her to stop so she wouldn't get thrown out. Her friend was right next to me in the aisle when she turned and called him a dick.
@@zee8080thanks for wasting your time, no one would have cared if you didn’t, but you did and it made me happy that I could hear it! 😃✌️ (That sounded rude it meant to sound happy sorry)
As a member that was in the audience, glad to watch her get kicked out finally. You handled it was grace and comedy; it was terrific. Also, as a member of this audience and a member of the audience from when you visited Des Moines in 2017 at the Funny Bone, also with Justin, I must correct a statement made here. In 2017 you also had to kick out a very drunk and obnoxious lady. I never got to see either of them, I was always seated fairly far away from them, but full disclosure sounded like the same lady too.
Uh oh. Well at least that means she gets over it eventually. Unless she only showed up for revenge after six long years. That would just be sad then. 😂😭🤣
You know when someone cares about not only their performance but the experience of the audience when they do this stuff, he's getting paid to tell jokes in front of them but still cares for them and doesn't want it to be an annoying show, respect that!
I really appreciate Drew here. Many comedians would have jumped straight to turning her into a few minutes of improv, but this absolute mad lad managed to talk to her like a friend while still keeping his audience's entertainment in his sights. Drew is proof that good comedy doesn't have to come at someone's expense.
@@hamishreid8791If you can't take heckling, then don't be a Comedian. It comes with the territory. And if what that woman was doing is now being considered as a "heckler", then Comedians have joined the I'M OFFENDED GENERATION. Smdh.....🤦♀️
The gall to interrupt a performer who has a history with stuttering. As someone who had a pretty bad stutter when I was younger, i cannot stand this selfishness. Doing shit like this could easily trigger a stutter, and you can hear it start to, but Drew is so good, and has come so far that he handles it beautifully.
@@Lou-yf1jo Exactly, and shouting will cause someone to stutter if it's prolonged. Doesn't matter if it doesn't sound like a big deal to make someone stutter, reason being, because that's a frankly asinine opinion. It's like telling me, "So what? I know I made you have a seizure, but I was only shouting."
There have been performers who don't even take disability into account with such behavior. There was a news story a while back about Hadestown when an actress called out an audience member for her "phone," which was actually a captioning device for accessibility. The way you handled it without asking "Do you have a disability or something?" was genius.
Right?! That Hadestown experience was such a stark difference to Drew's reactions in all the shows I've seen clips from. I remember a clip of his where a Deaf person in the audience had put her phone on the edge of the stage because it had an app connecting it to her hear aids, it led to a great interaction, I have a memory of Drew even walking around holding it for a bit, along with his mic. Not many performers would be so chill. [TL;DR - feel free to skip, I'm just ranting lol] I remember hearing about that Hadestown situation at the time, I believe it was a misunderstanding/miscommunication - I think I heard the stage manager had forgotten to tell the cast or something about the captioning device - but... disabilities in the audience or public in general, suhiuks be treated as just a regular occuranch, there shouldn't even _need_ to be a case of them being "told" someone is in the audience. Instead it should be a natural consideration (because you never know when someone in the audience is disabled, there's a good possibility there's gonna be at least few in each audience). Attitudes like that are partly causing the barriers that disabled people face to social experiences...when considering going to a show etc: I know too many people with various different disabilities who feel too worried about being negatively singled out or treated as if they are doing something wrong, so they don't go to movies, shows, or clubs, etc. Or because fighting for equitable accessibility that able-bodied people can take for granted...is just too exhausting for some to deal with and it can suck all enjoyment from going places (eg wheel chair users being denied entry because they're "a fire hazard" smh). Most people just don't stop and think, unless they have someone in their life who has disabilities... and sometimes even then they still don't consider it. There's just this general presumption that everyone is able-bodied until otherwise informed, and why should disabled people have to advertise their disabilities in order to get accommodations that give them equity, that should be automatically there. Like it's crazy that in 2023 how many public buildings are still not wheelchair accessible, for example. I've heard so many stories about kids with diabetes who have an insulin monitor & pump getting told off by idiot teachers for "using their phone in class" or even confiscating it, when it's literally the ting keeping them alive...and at the same time refusing to listen to the child trying to explain, and all while there are notes on their files or they have a special needs statement/plan (depending on what it's called in others countries, in the UK it's either SEN support- special educational needs; or an EHCP - Educational, Health & Care Plan, for a diabetic kid it'd be the latter) about it but it's being ignored🤬. There was a kid with a seizure condition who ended up injuring themselves when they fell out of their chair having a grand mal seizure after the teacher wouldn't listen to their request to go to the nurse as was their plan when they felt a seizure approaching. Teacher then panicked, not knowing what to do.. Fortunately, the kid was OK but it could have been very different if they hadn't had a friend sat beside them who knew what to do. In the UK, they introduced something called the Sunflower scheme: it's a lanyard with sunflowers on, that people with hidden disabilities can wear to let people know they have an invisible illness or disability. Partly, it was brought in because disabled people with invisible disabilities were getting verbally berated and even attacked for something as simple as using the disabled toilet while not looking 'sufficiently disabled enough'. Seriously 🤦 (and it's gotten even worse with the anti-trans bullshit, because apparently if you "don't look disabled", then you're either doing drugs in the disabled bathroom or you must be trans...and if you're neither of those than you're clearly just some asshole blocking "real" disabled people 🙄. Idk what is happening in this world). So, opinions on the lanyards are very divided among disabled people. I've been disabled my entire adult life, I have several chronic illnesses and keep collecting more because they have a knock on effect to other things. Unless I'm using my wheelchair on any given day you'd never know. The scheme is designed for people like me. But I despise it with a passion...why the hell should we have to advertise to everyone in the world that we have an illness or disability?! It's bad enough that people...strangers... already think if you're sitting in a wheelchair then they have an excuse to treat you a certain way and feel entitled to ask all kinds of personal questions. Those lanyards just give them another free pass to ask intrusive questions they have no right to; heaven help you if you refuse to answer their nosy questions about "so what's wrong with _you_ then?" and "can you still have sex if you're paralysed?" ..."can you even feel it?" I wish I was kidding but those are questions I've heard people asked. However, I know some people do genuinely find them helpful, it's almost a reassurance to some people, because the expectation of the disabled person is that a shop worker etc will recognise their lanyard an offer assistance, or that people will be more understanding of things like tics and neurodivergency etc. Unfortunately, during the times of covid when masks were expected to be worn in all indoor public places & transport, people who had no need for them were buying them online, so they could fake an illness exempting them from wearing a mask. Honestly, I've seen more support for them from able-bodied people 🤷🤦reminds me of how historically lepers used to have to ring a bell to let everyone know they were "unclean" so people knew not to get too close. It's not just that I hate that the lanyards give certain nosy people an added dose of The Audacity™️ , it's that even when you do give disabled people a system that is designed to make life easier, there are still assholes who will ruin it for everyone by faking needing it, but mostly it's because they shouldn't be necessary in the first place. Sorry, got a little rant there, I think be cause it just takes so little extra effort to be considerate that not everyone is the same, and so many public spaces, companies, and governments even, just can't do that.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I agree with every word. I myself had an usher come to tell me to turn my phone off, but my phone had an app that displayed captions. It didn't even work right. The Hadestown situation mainly boils down to this: It is NOT the performers job to interrupt the show for the entire theater in order to tell someone to put your phone away, it embarrasses them in a situation where they don't need to be embarrassed. It's the usher's job, and sure they don't always do it well but the performer should just carry on anyway for the sake of the ENTIRE audience. I've had people seemingly come to shows in order to fall asleep, but we didn't do anything because that's insane.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I really love it when people rant especially about something so damn important, people really need to take into account invisible disabilities!
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 thank you, my husband has what would be considered an invisible disability and when he eventually gets worse (it's a degenerative disease) I worry about how people will view/deal with his disability.
I was in the audience at this show! I was so happy to see you posted this!! After the show, my friend and I raved about how extremely professional and kind you were. My hope then was that the hundreds of people in the audience learned how NOT to act at a comedy show, and now hopefully this video does that on an even bigger scale! Thank you for coming to our creepy haunted auditorium on a miserable Thursday in February. I thoroughly enjoyed the show despite and including the disruption. I became a fan because of your quick wit and I hope at the very least some of your material that resulted from that night lives on because f*ck it was funny.
I completely understand but I know from going from huge to small comedy shows that rhythm is everything in comedy and to let her do that to everyone else in the crowd for that long is almost an insult to the rest of the paying crowd... Hecklers should get one warning and you mess up again and that's it not just let them continue.. just my opinion
@@WKRP187 Exactly. Taking down hecklers is free lunch for a well versed comedian. What can do you with someone who just screams out WOOO? This isn't doctor seuss, hundreds or thousands of people paid to be there and they collectively have more right to his time than that overgrown child. Grown ass children shouldn't be at a comedy show, maybe a ball room or an amusement park, but not around actual adults.
I’m a stutterer aswell and it affected my life a lot and it has improved, I would stutter on some words, just not as much as it used to. I just talk to people and ignore the fact I stutter.
@@whyplaypiano2844 The only proof you need (against it) is that he is actually funny, specifically regarding his material not focused on the stutter. He doesn't need a gimic to deserve the fame he has gotten, he earned that with his comedy alone.
I can't believe how well articulated this went from "yeah okay." to "she's just excited, maybe has a tic" to "okay, I need to communicate she's being too much." to "Now she needs to know there's repurcussions, but I don't want to ruin her night or be a dick"...etc etc Like, that's beyond patience. That is saintly parenting level communication before a time out.
I don’t think anyone could’ve handled that better than you did. As someone who works and performs in a comedy theater, I know that some hecklers just cannot take the hint; regardless of how obvious that hint is. You stayed professional as you could until she decided to insult you upon her departure. And at that point, letting it loose was probably pretty satisfying. Sure, you hate to throw people out, but you have her so many chances. Great handling of the situation. And I appreciate you checking to see if it was a verbal tick or just rudeness; not a lot of people consider that
I love that Drew considered the tic possibility too. I think, perhaps because of his own speech issues that it would make him more aware of disabilities and accessibility issues. But he's generally an inclusive guy anyway, from what I've seen; I know he was friends with Molly Burke, the blind TH-camr (Idk if they still are as I haven't seen much of her content in over a year now), Drew was in a couple of her vids & their service dogs had play dates. I also seem to remember a great interaction in one of his clips from a show, where he was talking with a Deaf woman, she had her phone on the stage to help her hear via it & into her hearing aids, iirc, he ended up walking round holding it for a bit because she could hear better through it. At least I'm 98% sure that was Drew.
@@ChrisStuart911 yea, he's recovering to where it's almost gone, and while he made that his "shtick" initially he did it perfectly, it's how many of us found him, and I'm sure it really humbled him in terms of truly understanding others. Many if not most of us are naturally ccompassionate. Few can actually empathize without having to have had the *exact* same experience (so I hate it when people want to play issue Olympics and claim "you couldn't possibly get it") but there really is something profound about temporarily experiencing some kind of issue, be it mental health or physical disability. I've had phases with both, and while I've always been empathetic, more than ever it literally KILLS me to see someone suffering from a debilitating mental issue. Physical disabilities are much less heartstring jerking, cause those folks typically have levels of dedication higher than 90% of able bodied folks 😂 I think the biggest thing you can do for someone dealing with issues, is don't pity them. That hurts the most. Knowing someone feels bad for you cause they view you as so broken 🤦♂️
I mean, he could have literally ignored the lady since this is a comedy show and audience engagement is part of the metric by which you determine how well you're doing.
@@danagray9709 As a comedian, you can't exactly ignore when it is clear that an audience member is ruining the show for those around them. And it wasn't like she was simply cheering whenever he finished telling a joke. She was to the point she was doing it in the middle of him trying to set the joke up so he could then deliver the punchline.
Are you sure it’s somebody trying to ruin his show? Or just an enthusiastic person cheering him on? Have you been to comedy shows before? This was normal behavior. It happens often. He way overreacted.
@@happyhomebody1556 wouldn't call someone disrespecting multiple times being asked to please stay silent in a polite way "normal" behaviour, especially when the crowd gets annoyed by that person and the ones surrounding her start shaking their heads. That's not normal. Don't confuse this with usual cheering when appropriate in a joke with others...
@happyhomebody1556 People don't usually yell while someone is trying to tell a joke. Also, the people around her didn't appreciate being yelled right into their ears
@@happyhomebody1556 He didn't overreact. After a few times, he politely asked her to dial it back a little. He never told her she needed to stop until it was apparent that it was starting to bother those around her. Even at that point, he still was being polite and respectful and asked her to simply tone it down. And she still didn't take the hint. Even when it ultimately led to her getting kicked out, Drew was being calm and respectful about it until she called him a dick...then it finally went off on her.
Dude what the hell I used to watch you more when I was younger and just fell out and my jaw was dropped this entire video because I hadn't realized you'd come so far with your stutter. Absolutely amazing job man keep it up!
@@happyhomebody1556 How sad and pathetic is your life that you feel the need to be such a negative prick in the comment section of a TH-cam video towards someone who had been dealing with a medical condition for a while now? The way you talk...you seem like the type of person that would say that someone who had a broken arm never had a broken arm several years later after their arm has had ample time to heal itself. "Oh, that person had surgery a few months back to remove a tumor that was effecting their vision and now they can see perfectly? Oh, that means they never had the tumor in the first place." That you...that's what you sound like right now.
@happyhomebody1556 speech therapy exists for a reason. Stuttering is the main reason people go to speech therapy. Edit: he was hit in the throat with a softball damaging his vocal cord and knocking him to the ground, causing a brain injury. Stuff heals over time. He wasn't born with it
As someone with both autism and adhd I can confirm that it’s always best to check in on someone when they’re being disruptive in a setting like this. Drew, you handled this incredibly. You were obviously getting angry with her for being disruptive but stayed as nice as you could and very professional and respectful of her experience and enjoyment there. You drew the boundaries better than I would expect most comedians and didn’t use her as a reference point for a joke or anything that should offend her, but rather got personal with her and expressed your concern for her having an encounter with security and told her you wanted to be friends. You could’ve gone without cussing her out but in all honesty, I would have done the same. She had every opportunity to avoid that and still took advantage of your kindness. Keep up the good work. You’re doing great. Love you man Y'all what have you done in the replies If you disagree with someone you're not going to convince them you're right over 130+ youtube comments just have faith they'll learn someday They're not trying to make you mad and you're not trying to make them mad but you're both ending up mad just chill lol This was supposed to be for Drew, not to be debated on
As someone else with both autism and adhd if you're causing an issue and disrupting people you should remove yourself from the situation. The world doesn't revolve around you and no one gives a fuck.
As someone with ADHD I wouldn't have picked up on this. To me he didn't handle it "incredibly well," he handled it like an average person who thinks they're being clear but is failing to pick up on the other person just isn't getting it. I still don't understand to this day why people don't actually adjust how they're communicating and instead insist on continuing with this needling method that has triggered a sense of intense shame for much of our lives to the point that we refuse to take it any longer and instead react with defiance. Personally I respond better to a firm "No." How this went woulda just told my brain "Oh, this is play time so I should engage in play mode." I'll never understand people who treat ADHD as a monolith. That all being said though I am glad that the audience member was removed, hopefully they took a walk or something after and cooled down. Pissed as they likely were I hope they found a life lesson to learn from this.
@@LowellaAskew You said so many words but im not sure what you meant by them. So he handled it badly in your opinion? And the reasoning is because he didn't just kick this person out instantly?
@@maybeitsyou1317 I think he handled it poorly by not getting that the person wasn't getting it. Coulda just given a firm "No" and they likely woulda stopped. I think it sucks that the person got kicked out but I also get that they weren't stopping and something had to be done about it especially given that both sides - the audience member and Drew - weren't understanding how to communicate with each other. It was an unfortunate outcome but something had to be done. I wish they hadn't been kicked out at all but the past can't be changed. This can be a learning experience for both sides.
You were being incredibly polite and professional towards such an obnoxious individual. I would have kicked them out on the 2nd "woo". Your patience with them is honestly outstanding and I have such a high level of appreciation and admiration for how you handled the situation while still maintaining some level of comedy to avoid people just dog pilling the girl. Love your work, stay awesome!
The second? na you need to handle these types of heckles delicately otherwise you lose the crowds favor. You kick someone who has done nothing but cheer out that early and the audience will take her side. If their is mallace behind the heckle sure, kick them out off the bat and the audience will side with you. Without mallace you need to work your way up to that, otherwise the show gets super awkward and you flop.
@@LegDayLashey just FYI it's "malice" :) "mallace" made me laugh though, I kept imagining a mallet in the chick's hand, waving it every time she went "WoOoOoOoO!!!" 😅 But you're right, I agree there's a very delicate dance that the performer needs to do every time a heckler is involved. They must, first and foremost, keep the enjoyment of the majority at the top of their priorities -- if the heckler is adding to the show and they're engaged in friendly banter that the audience is into, great! But if it's disruptive (or worse, disrespectful) that's when the performer needs to determine how they will navigate... because now one person is fucking up the experience for everyone else, which is the performer's responsibility to handle gracefully. Drew handled this with so much patience, it's crazy.
Drew you’re such a kind person and you couldn’t have been more clear. She chose her actions to get kicked out. You were just doing amazing as always. Love your content, thanks for the laughs!
Dude, you are AMAZING! You are one of the best comedians I have found in quite some time. You did handle that like a pro! That woman was out of line and she just didn't get it. Good on you, sir! Good on you! I really love how you handle hecklers. It makes your sets feel fluid and real. It doesn't feel like you are just reciting memorized jokes. I am sure some of them are, but you don't skip a single beat when you are interrupted! All the love and respect, brother!
Seeing you from AGT to now is actually fuckin incredible. Your stutter is barely there. Love your material and keep up the great work. Don’t let people like this stop ya.
As a stuttering comedian, this video is so important, you have no idea how hard that was for Drew. I get it man. You did really good. A true inspiration.
You could not have done any more! I have seen people get kicked out, berated, yelled at and insulted in some of the most offensive ways possible by other comedians for so much less. You are awesome for keeping your cool that long and trying to help her stay at the show. Keep being you, Drew!
Drew is so so good at communicating with people. He has a natural gift for being respectful and understanding. Plus amazingly talented comedian. Just a pure legend really. Love your work drew ❤😊
i would have never known he had a stutter to begin with without seeing everyone's comments, as someone who had spent years working through mine im very impressed and proud of him to control it so well.
I really appreciate how well you deal with hecklers and are respectful but don't put up with bullshit. You also always make it funny and create a funny scenario to keep the crowd entertained
I hardly heard you stutter. From someone that's being following you since your days of being introduced to America on AGT to now. Im so proud of how far you've gotten not only in your career, such a talented comedian to just who you are and the hard work and personal growth you've shown. Such a great guy. Hopefully we see you come to Dallas tx. Take care Drew.
Just stumbled on this video today. At 1:33 you recognize verbal tics and then in the set you perfectly used the '9/11' thing because if it was Tourette's, she would have made the same sound to that as well. I really appreciate people like you that are aware of tics and understand it's not exactly easy to control. The rest of the video further proves that this was just a rude, inconsiderate individual. Thanks for being an awesome person!
The amount of patience and understanding this guy had during the very stressful situation of trying to remember a set and do some improv that makes the crowd feel the interactive comedy is amazing!!! Should be an example piece in lectures of human interaction and etiquette... at least I believe that. >>
The mental agility here is what makes you so delightful to watch. You had all these approaches to the issue and they were all professional and respectful and really funny and not one sounded rehearsed or overemotional until you got understandably frustrated after she called you a dick. You gave her a ton of ways out, which pretty much any remotely reasonable person would have managed to catch hold of, but didn't sacrifice your boundaries or the audience experience and you were able to keep the rest of the audience on your side and get back to warm and welcoming immediately. Really masterful to watch.
I was at this show. Up until the lady was kicked out, there was a whole undercurrent of tension you were dealing with. Once she was gone, the whole show became fun for everyone. Pleas come back to Des Moines!
Man words can't express the shock I had hearing you speak at the start with no stutter whatsoever. You've not only managed to make a great success out of it since appearing on AGT, you've also managed to beat the stutter. I'm happy for you.
Actually his stutter was real. People can and do get better with their stutter. It can take years before the stutter is barely noticeable but it still crops up when he is not thinking of tools he uses to keep the stutter on the down low.
I started watching when his stutter was taking over most of his jokes. I started focusing on life and not watching comedy shows for a while, and seeing this performance with not a single noticeable stutter so far is amazing. Always loved the comedy Drew brings.
I agree to some extent because sometimes people think you are laughing loud on purpose when you just have a loud laugh. I have a loud laugh but some people think I'm faking it and you never know with people
You literally give me so much hope as I am a TBI/attempted murder survivor, that I hope one day I will have enough courage to get on stage to tell my story as well and grow from there. Keep up the great work!
You were so nice and patient with that woman for sooooooo long. You definitely gave her enough time and chance to stfu. She had to be just wasted. Lmao. How you handled that situation really shows your character and professionalism. Love your comedy! Keep it up!!
Holy shit Drew. From the first time I seen on AGT 2015 to now you have basically overcome your stutter. That is amazing. I'm so happy for you. You're a great comedian. Keep up the amazing work!
The last time I saw one of your shows, it was on AGT when your stutter was so bad, and it was amazing how you accepted it and made it part of your act. All the sudden I stumbled upon this video and your stutter has made so much progress and it just makes me feel so happy because you truly deserve it.
I was actually smiling at the end of how well you handled it, and you were so nice but she just didn't learn her lesson. That's so awesome dude well done!
This is just so amazing. I remember originally watching you on America’s Got Talent and since then you have come so far. I hardly heard you stutter once in this video and your success in comedy and your stuttering is commendable. Bravo. 👏
As someone who works crowd management for music and comedy shows, thank you so much for trying to calm her down. I have had a few shows where randomly the performer will point someone out to come up on stage and the whole section pointed at tries to get up. Also when singers ask for "all the beautiful ladies" to come on stage is the worst.
I haven't seen your videos in a while, YT put you as "related" and watching you not stutter makes my heart swell. I'm so proud of you and keep up what you're doing. You put a smile on my face every time.
Extremely well handled, whole crowd was still into it, man that went relatively well. Awesome work keeping your composure for so long and staying a consummate pro up there.
Handling that whole situation must have been so difficult. You were very considerate. I can't imagine anyone handling it better! Thank you for your fantastic comedy. :-)
“What not to do at a live comedy event” Only in THIS F$$KING era would this *ever* be an actual video -uhh man, beyond tired (Genuinely 1 of the best “oh F$$K you then”’s I’ve ever heard! 😂)
At 4:20 is the perfect thing to say in that situation. I remember what it was like in middle school and early high school when I was just desperate for attention. I remember talking out in class as much as this lady is. If someone said this to me back then, that would have shut me up. Because I think I would have realized how serious it was and that I took it too far. It’s unfortunate that that wasn’t the end of it. I was at the movies with friends during this era of my life, and I was making comments to my friends during ever scene. Obviously people could hear me, but I thought I was being funny. One scene the lady steps out onto her porch, and I make a gunshot noise with my mouth like, “pwkkkkkkhhhhhh” (have fun trying to pronounce that). That’s when someone below me turned around and said something. They were probably a bit rude, but understandably so. That alone was enough to make me realize that people weren’t laughing along with me and that I was ruining the experience for them. So I shut up real quick. A few minutes later the workers of the theater came in and that same person who turned around and told me to shut up pointed me out and said, “He’s the one being loud.” And when the workers looked at me, keep in mind I’m like 14 and terrified at this point, I turned around and point at some vague direction and said, “they won’t shut up.” I don’t think they bought it fully, but it was enough confusion to make them sit back and just watch over the room to make sure people still weren’t making noise. And because I had made that decision to stop talking a while ago, obviously they never fully confirmed it was me and I didn’t get kicked out. In hindsight, I feel so bad that I probably ruined the movie for those people. But I genuinely didn’t think I was affecting people in the moment. And I assume that’s what this lady is lacking in this moment. Probably drunk, so her awareness is impaired. But I almost get secondhand embarrassment watching her because it reminds me of how I used to be. I should note that once I became comfortable with myself and I stopped caring about what other people thought of me, my desperation for attention disappeared, and my obnoxious outbursts disappeared. I’m a very normal person now, but hearing this lady outburst like this really kind of makes me feel bad for her. Almost like she’s so desperate for people to like her that she just doesn’t realize how annoying she is. And I hope she finds happiness in life.
gotta love how nobody is actually talking about the comment and are just complaining about the length. I'm glad you grew out of that behavior, I get the appeal of trying to be funny and entertaining to be around but it's good to know where the limits are and to work around them. I think a respectful wake up call is just what people need, especially around teenage years
@@tarhumdonorstoriesforthebored if you don't like long comments just ignore them lol, nobody's forcing you to read them Also OP proud of you for being able to recognise when your jokes aren't appreciated, I know a LOT of teenagers around that age that would have acted similar to this lady and just not shut up until they had to be escorted out.
So glad you have made so much progress on your stutter and hope you continue with the progress. You handle hecklers so well like the lady who put her prosthetic legs on the stage.
It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come speech wise. I remember when you were on americas got talent and you had the stutter all the time, and you were still hilarious. It’s just very cool to see you now because I know that took a lot of hard work to get to where you are today speaking wise.
I appreciate these recent more serious videos about your stand up! It’s super informative and it’s really nice to be able to see this more human side of things and to be reminded that not everything is always cupcakes and rainbows
This was the first ever live show I went to and holy cow was it a great night, I was the one with the Axolotl plush. Also have Tourette’s and how you handled trying to be inclusive and making sure what she was doing wasn’t a tic was AMAZING and why you are one of my Favorite comedians 🥰🥰
this "behind the scenes" format is fun. I'm on a little "heckler vs comedian" binge this morning, and this is the first time I've seen that. pretty cool
Is the YT algorithm in a heckler mood for everyone? I started on a heckler vs comedian binge too, and I’ve never even thought to watch these before lol
Dude its so cool watching you for the past 5ish years and watching your stutter basically disappear is super awesome. Still funny as hell and killing it keep up the hard work man we see it!
Drew I cant even begin to say how proud I am of you for getting better with your stutter. I lost your channel a few years ago and just refound you and your progress is amazing.
This really shows your level of experience. You tried to do it so lightly and even as a joke before having to be blunt, and then weren't even rattled afterward. Laughed it off and made another joke about it and just kept going with the show. Bravo, you are a good performer and good with the crowd.
Hi Drew, long time listener, first time caller. I just wanted to say you were utterly professional about it and she clearly had no self control, so well done to you for making those decisions like you did and making this video out of it. Love from London!
Wow. I hope she was drunk because I can't imagine an actual adult acting that way when A THOUSAND people are telling them to shut up and thinking it was going to get them anywhere.
She was almost like a teenager pushing and pushing and pushing to see how far she can go to annoy her parents.
how does thou know our secrets!
Your average teenager is much better-behaved in a social setting than this woman.
@@unrulycrayon6421 I am a former teenager....albeit several decades ago
I assumed alcohol was involved. Those wooos sounded very much like every 'drunk girl' I've known when "having fun" and making sure they let everyone else know (I was on meds that was not compatible with alcohol through my uni & clubbing days I was always the designated driver/sober buddy when going out with friends, several of whom have been incredibly obnoxious when drunk... difference being, usually if I would tell them to tone it down they would do so, and be immediately apologetic for being annoying "and do you still love me?" lol - I miss my friends from back then).
Not even a teenager. That was some toddler b.s. Only she now lacks the adorableness of a toddler. I like whoever yelled "shut tf up!"
I’m so glad you made sure not to embarrass her instantly but instead give her a discreet warning that got more and more serious as she kept going. You handled it so incredibly well, even though she didn’t deserve it
She did deserve it. Though, at least he did it in a professional manner.

I do know he wasn’t born with it. It was a baseball accident that caused it, so I figured over time he would be able to work on it, and fix it over time.
I was at this show and Drew 100% absolutely gave this girl every single chance he could
Funny how no one asked you. It’s almost as if we can see and hear that for ourselves in the video.
You’re the annoying girl that got kicked out, aren’t you? I can tell. Still speaking up with no reason to
Was she super loud then? Hard to tell from the video.
It’s very disruptive, especially if you struggle with stutter to ignore loud woooohs when telling jokes. If there is woohs when people are clapping at the end of an act and drew is quiet and laughing or smiling it’s different then when you are in the middle of a story and trying to get the delivery correct. She got so many chances.
Can you explain to me a bit better why she got kicked out? I'm genuinely asking. From the video, it just looks like she did it a few times at the end of jokes. Was it way more than that? Was it super loud? It just feels like (from the video) that she got kicked out for having a good time at a comedy show
@@gracecodd4378It was super loud and high pitched and very disturbing to the people around her. He mentioned a few times the people around her looking bothered by her and vigorously nodding when he asked her to stop. It was also probably quite distracting to him. Regardless of the original reason she started doing it, once he directly asked her to stop then she needed to stop.
LITERALLY tried being as calm, collected, and understanding as you could be. and she still did not stop. c'mon 💀
And had the audacity to call him a dick after she got all the chances to shut the fuck up. The nerve of some people really grinds my gears.
@@ericbolton9512 exactly. she farted in an empty box and was surprised when she opened it and smelt it.
@@nonstopqs4188 hahahaha! What, didn't expect that? I see someone didn't pay attention in Science class. 🤣
You cannot appease some people with that much time.
Reminds me of my friend. I told him, for example, when playing a game called sea of thieves. Not to move the boat. And if he wants to. Tell us first before you start doing it. I told him multiple times. And he just ended up on his own free will. He moved the ship and then said he’s going to move the ship. By then he was already sailing away. Moral of the story in my story and this comedy is. “Listen” and remember to be respect and take a hint
In all honesty, "we're still friends, but we're almost not" is such a powerful line.
It really establishes the current situation with possibly the least amount of words you could have used.
I guess there's a first time for everything, at least it happened after 12 years and not right away!
Yeah but then she called him a dick at the end because she thought he was her friend :(
👍I need to remember this line. I'm sure there are times in my life I could have used it
I'm gonna say that to my nephew the next time he's screaming his head off for no reason 😂 My go-to "that's a paddlin" is getting a lil old.
@@illustriousmayor2478 he flat out explained why they would no longer be "friends" and she is the one that abused it and continued on anyway. It is no fault on Drew. He handled it better than pretty much anyone else would have. The reason she called him a dick is because she is a self-absorbed person that only cares about her own person experience above everyone.

As someone who tends to be too loud at the wrong times because of a mental disability this actually makes me feel better about it because of how many times you checked in on her and made sure it was of her own volition and that she knew she was being disruptive before you took measures to actually get rid of her. You handled this really well
R/surprisinglywholesome
Yeah her reaction especially at the end made me think it's some kind of mental health issue, but still, you can only have so many chances. And any good person will wake up thr next day and not feel resentful lol
I must say I rarely think to myself that there might be disabilities of some sort behind these things when I encounter them. I do often seem to be the only person irl that thinks some people I know well have something going on that they can't control but wish they could. And therefore there could be something undiagnosed going on. For example extreme overtalkers I care about. They must have some social intuition to realize that they've lost the person or group with the intense talking at them vs with them chronicly.
Anyways thanks for sharing this. It's a great point and reminder that I could of missed or miss when interacting with others. ❤
U can be too loud becuz of a mental disability? Which one is it ?
@@K_Riss1 Drunk women especially get super loud and disruptive. It happens to men too but some women just can't hold their alcohol in the slightest and turn into an angry drunk.
Also, women lack a protein to break down the alcohol which is why women tend to get more drunk then men.
I can fix that for you, I just need to constantly hit your head until you stop making noise
As someone with Tourette’s oh my god thank you so much for actually having us in mind! I’m always afraid that if I tic in public people will think that I’m just trying to be rude.
My mom gave me the best advice I have ever heard “no one cares about anyone but themselves”
It just means people are inherently self focused so chances are if you tic or even do something embarrassing people won’t notice. Even if they do, they will forget about it in seconds or minutes because they go back to thinking about themselves.
Even if someone thinks you’re rude, it’s not your fault! You can’t control it. It’s on them if they let it bother them.

My wife and I were at this show. I was so embarrassed for the city of Des Moines and disappointed that you had to deal with this drunk. This is not the type of behavior typical of Iowans and people of Des Moines. The crowd definitely had turned on her and she deserved to be removed. You handled it with such grace and class.

He was very nice and polite and handled the situation with grace. But she would not stop. The crowd turned on her LONG before this happened and Drew kept asking the crowd to ease up.

There have been performers who don't even take disability into account with such behavior. There was a news story a while back about Hadestown when an actress called out an audience member for her "phone," which was actually a captioning device for accessibility. The way you handled it without asking "Do you have a disability or something?" was genius.
Right?!
That Hadestown experience was such a stark difference to Drew's reactions in all the shows I've seen clips from. I remember a clip of his where a Deaf person in the audience had put her phone on the edge of the stage because it had an app connecting it to her hear aids, it led to a great interaction, I have a memory of Drew even walking around holding it for a bit, along with his mic. Not many performers would be so chill.
[TL;DR - feel free to skip, I'm just ranting lol]
I remember hearing about that Hadestown situation at the time, I believe it was a misunderstanding/miscommunication - I think I heard the stage manager had forgotten to tell the cast or something about the captioning device - but... disabilities in the audience or public in general, suhiuks be treated as just a regular occuranch, there shouldn't even _need_ to be a case of them being "told" someone is in the audience. Instead it should be a natural consideration (because you never know when someone in the audience is disabled, there's a good possibility there's gonna be at least few in each audience). Attitudes like that are partly causing the barriers that disabled people face to social experiences...when considering going to a show etc: I know too many people with various different disabilities who feel too worried about being negatively singled out or treated as if they are doing something wrong, so they don't go to movies, shows, or clubs, etc. Or because fighting for equitable accessibility that able-bodied people can take for granted...is just too exhausting for some to deal with and it can suck all enjoyment from going places (eg wheel chair users being denied entry because they're "a fire hazard" smh).
Most people just don't stop and think, unless they have someone in their life who has disabilities... and sometimes even then they still don't consider it. There's just this general presumption that everyone is able-bodied until otherwise informed, and why should disabled people have to advertise their disabilities in order to get accommodations that give them equity, that should be automatically there. Like it's crazy that in 2023 how many public buildings are still not wheelchair accessible, for example.
I've heard so many stories about kids with diabetes who have an insulin monitor & pump getting told off by idiot teachers for "using their phone in class" or even confiscating it, when it's literally the ting keeping them alive...and at the same time refusing to listen to the child trying to explain, and all while there are notes on their files or they have a special needs statement/plan (depending on what it's called in others countries, in the UK it's either SEN support- special educational needs; or an EHCP - Educational, Health & Care Plan, for a diabetic kid it'd be the latter) about it but it's being ignored🤬. There was a kid with a seizure condition who ended up injuring themselves when they fell out of their chair having a grand mal seizure after the teacher wouldn't listen to their request to go to the nurse as was their plan when they felt a seizure approaching. Teacher then panicked, not knowing what to do.. Fortunately, the kid was OK but it could have been very different if they hadn't had a friend sat beside them who knew what to do.
In the UK, they introduced something called the Sunflower scheme: it's a lanyard with sunflowers on, that people with hidden disabilities can wear to let people know they have an invisible illness or disability. Partly, it was brought in because disabled people with invisible disabilities were getting verbally berated and even attacked for something as simple as using the disabled toilet while not looking 'sufficiently disabled enough'. Seriously 🤦 (and it's gotten even worse with the anti-trans bullshit, because apparently if you "don't look disabled", then you're either doing drugs in the disabled bathroom or you must be trans...and if you're neither of those than you're clearly just some asshole blocking "real" disabled people 🙄. Idk what is happening in this world).
So, opinions on the lanyards are very divided among disabled people. I've been disabled my entire adult life, I have several chronic illnesses and keep collecting more because they have a knock on effect to other things. Unless I'm using my wheelchair on any given day you'd never know. The scheme is designed for people like me. But I despise it with a passion...why the hell should we have to advertise to everyone in the world that we have an illness or disability?! It's bad enough that people...strangers... already think if you're sitting in a wheelchair then they have an excuse to treat you a certain way and feel entitled to ask all kinds of personal questions. Those lanyards just give them another free pass to ask intrusive questions they have no right to; heaven help you if you refuse to answer their nosy questions about "so what's wrong with _you_ then?" and "can you still have sex if you're paralysed?" ..."can you even feel it?" I wish I was kidding but those are questions I've heard people asked.
However, I know some people do genuinely find them helpful, it's almost a reassurance to some people, because the expectation of the disabled person is that a shop worker etc will recognise their lanyard an offer assistance, or that people will be more understanding of things like tics and neurodivergency etc. Unfortunately, during the times of covid when masks were expected to be worn in all indoor public places & transport, people who had no need for them were buying them online, so they could fake an illness exempting them from wearing a mask. Honestly, I've seen more support for them from able-bodied people 🤷🤦reminds me of how historically lepers used to have to ring a bell to let everyone know they were "unclean" so people knew not to get too close.
It's not just that I hate that the lanyards give certain nosy people an added dose of The Audacity™️ , it's that even when you do give disabled people a system that is designed to make life easier, there are still assholes who will ruin it for everyone by faking needing it, but mostly it's because they shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
Sorry, got a little rant there, I think be cause it just takes so little extra effort to be considerate that not everyone is the same, and so many public spaces, companies, and governments even, just can't do that.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I agree with every word. I myself had an usher come to tell me to turn my phone off, but my phone had an app that displayed captions. It didn't even work right. The Hadestown situation mainly boils down to this: It is NOT the performers job to interrupt the show for the entire theater in order to tell someone to put your phone away, it embarrasses them in a situation where they don't need to be embarrassed. It's the usher's job, and sure they don't always do it well but the performer should just carry on anyway for the sake of the ENTIRE audience. I've had people seemingly come to shows in order to fall asleep, but we didn't do anything because that's insane.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I really love it when people rant especially about something so damn important, people really need to take into account invisible disabilities!
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 thank you, my husband has what would be considered an invisible disability and when he eventually gets worse (it's a degenerative disease) I worry about how people will view/deal with his disability.
If you are DISabled, you shouldn't be ABLE to be in the same environment as people who aren't. They separate them for a reason.
I was in the audience at this show!
I was so happy to see you posted this!! After the show, my friend and I raved about how extremely professional and kind you were. My hope then was that the hundreds of people in the audience learned how NOT to act at a comedy show, and now hopefully this video does that on an even bigger scale!
Thank you for coming to our creepy haunted auditorium on a miserable Thursday in February.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show despite and including the disruption.
I became a fan because of your quick wit and I hope at the very least some of your material that resulted from that night lives on because f*ck it was funny.
I completely understand but I know from going from huge to small comedy shows that rhythm is everything in comedy and to let her do that to everyone else in the crowd for that long is almost an insult to the rest of the paying crowd... Hecklers should get one warning and you mess up again and that's it not just let them continue.. just my opinion
I was also there and I agree he handled it very well I think.
@@silverring8186 i was also there but then i got kicked out halfway through..
@@jamisonfoglesong7172 i wasnt there.... but i also got kicked out
@@WKRP187 Exactly. Taking down hecklers is free lunch for a well versed comedian. What can do you with someone who just screams out WOOO? This isn't doctor seuss, hundreds or thousands of people paid to be there and they collectively have more right to his time than that overgrown child. Grown ass children shouldn't be at a comedy show, maybe a ball room or an amusement park, but not around actual adults.
It’s so awesome to see drew work through his stutter over these years. I remember when he could barely get a sentence out on stage.
I’m a stutterer aswell and it affected my life a lot and it has improved, I would stutter on some words, just not as much as it used to. I just talk to people and ignore the fact I stutter.
Because it was fake to get attention and an audience. Now that he has an audience, he doesn’t need it anymore.
@@happyhomebody1556 Prove it.
@@happyhomebody1556proof?
@@whyplaypiano2844 The only proof you need (against it) is that he is actually funny, specifically regarding his material not focused on the stutter. He doesn't need a gimic to deserve the fame he has gotten, he earned that with his comedy alone.
I can't believe how well articulated this went from "yeah okay." to "she's just excited, maybe has a tic" to "okay, I need to communicate she's being too much." to "Now she needs to know there's repurcussions, but I don't want to ruin her night or be a dick"...etc etc
Like, that's beyond patience. That is saintly parenting level communication before a time out.
I don’t think anyone could’ve handled that better than you did. As someone who works and performs in a comedy theater, I know that some hecklers just cannot take the hint; regardless of how obvious that hint is. You stayed professional as you could until she decided to insult you upon her departure. And at that point, letting it loose was probably pretty satisfying. Sure, you hate to throw people out, but you have her so many chances. Great handling of the situation. And I appreciate you checking to see if it was a verbal tick or just rudeness; not a lot of people consider that
I love that Drew considered the tic possibility too. I think, perhaps because of his own speech issues that it would make him more aware of disabilities and accessibility issues. But he's generally an inclusive guy anyway, from what I've seen; I know he was friends with Molly Burke, the blind TH-camr (Idk if they still are as I haven't seen much of her content in over a year now), Drew was in a couple of her vids & their service dogs had play dates. I also seem to remember a great interaction in one of his clips from a show, where he was talking with a Deaf woman, she had her phone on the stage to help her hear via it & into her hearing aids, iirc, he ended up walking round holding it for a bit because she could hear better through it. At least I'm 98% sure that was Drew.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 Yup that was Drew! I love that video it warms my heart to see him be respectful but inclusive in his shows
@@ChrisStuart911 yea, he's recovering to where it's almost gone, and while he made that his "shtick" initially he did it perfectly, it's how many of us found him, and I'm sure it really humbled him in terms of truly understanding others.
Many if not most of us are naturally ccompassionate. Few can actually empathize without having to have had the *exact* same experience (so I hate it when people want to play issue Olympics and claim "you couldn't possibly get it") but there really is something profound about temporarily experiencing some kind of issue, be it mental health or physical disability.
I've had phases with both, and while I've always been empathetic, more than ever it literally KILLS me to see someone suffering from a debilitating mental issue.
Physical disabilities are much less heartstring jerking, cause those folks typically have levels of dedication higher than 90% of able bodied folks 😂
I think the biggest thing you can do for someone dealing with issues, is don't pity them. That hurts the most. Knowing someone feels bad for you cause they view you as so broken 🤦♂️
I mean, he could have literally ignored the lady since this is a comedy show and audience engagement is part of the metric by which you determine how well you're doing.
@@danagray9709 As a comedian, you can't exactly ignore when it is clear that an audience member is ruining the show for those around them. And it wasn't like she was simply cheering whenever he finished telling a joke. She was to the point she was doing it in the middle of him trying to set the joke up so he could then deliver the punchline.
“Now my stepdads gonna ask you to leave.” 😂😂😂 too good
Your patience for someone actively trying to ruin your show is no less than saintly. Well done.
Are you sure it’s somebody trying to ruin his show? Or just an enthusiastic person cheering him on? Have you been to comedy shows before? This was normal behavior. It happens often. He way overreacted.
@@happyhomebody1556 wouldn't call someone disrespecting multiple times being asked to please stay silent in a polite way "normal" behaviour, especially when the crowd gets annoyed by that person and the ones surrounding her start shaking their heads. That's not normal. Don't confuse this with usual cheering when appropriate in a joke with others...
@happyhomebody1556 People don't usually yell while someone is trying to tell a joke. Also, the people around her didn't appreciate being yelled right into their ears
@@happyhomebody1556 He didn't overreact. After a few times, he politely asked her to dial it back a little. He never told her she needed to stop until it was apparent that it was starting to bother those around her. Even at that point, he still was being polite and respectful and asked her to simply tone it down. And she still didn't take the hint. Even when it ultimately led to her getting kicked out, Drew was being calm and respectful about it until she called him a dick...then it finally went off on her.
@@happyhomebody1556 Prove it.
I will never understand hecklers. You came to see a show, NOT BE THE SHOW!
Like those people who go to concerts and holler over the singer
No, incorrect. For the heckler, the intent is to be part of the show.
Dude what the hell I used to watch you more when I was younger and just fell out and my jaw was dropped this entire video because I hadn't realized you'd come so far with your stutter. Absolutely amazing job man keep it up!
Because it was a shtick to get an audience. Now that he has an audience, he doesn’t need it anymore.
@@happyhomebody1556 How sad and pathetic is your life that you feel the need to be such a negative prick in the comment section of a TH-cam video towards someone who had been dealing with a medical condition for a while now? The way you talk...you seem like the type of person that would say that someone who had a broken arm never had a broken arm several years later after their arm has had ample time to heal itself. "Oh, that person had surgery a few months back to remove a tumor that was effecting their vision and now they can see perfectly? Oh, that means they never had the tumor in the first place." That you...that's what you sound like right now.

As someone with both autism and adhd I can confirm that it’s always best to check in on someone when they’re being disruptive in a setting like this. Drew, you handled this incredibly. You were obviously getting angry with her for being disruptive but stayed as nice as you could and very professional and respectful of her experience and enjoyment there. You drew the boundaries better than I would expect most comedians and didn’t use her as a reference point for a joke or anything that should offend her, but rather got personal with her and expressed your concern for her having an encounter with security and told her you wanted to be friends. You could’ve gone without cussing her out but in all honesty, I would have done the same. She had every opportunity to avoid that and still took advantage of your kindness.
Keep up the good work. You’re doing great. Love you man
Y'all what have you done in the replies
If you disagree with someone you're not going to convince them you're right over 130+ youtube comments just have faith they'll learn someday
They're not trying to make you mad and you're not trying to make them mad but you're both ending up mad just chill lol
This was supposed to be for Drew, not to be debated on
As someone else with both autism and adhd if you're causing an issue and disrupting people you should remove yourself from the situation. The world doesn't revolve around you and no one gives a fuck.
As someone with ADHD I wouldn't have picked up on this. To me he didn't handle it "incredibly well," he handled it like an average person who thinks they're being clear but is failing to pick up on the other person just isn't getting it. I still don't understand to this day why people don't actually adjust how they're communicating and instead insist on continuing with this needling method that has triggered a sense of intense shame for much of our lives to the point that we refuse to take it any longer and instead react with defiance. Personally I respond better to a firm "No." How this went woulda just told my brain "Oh, this is play time so I should engage in play mode." I'll never understand people who treat ADHD as a monolith.
That all being said though I am glad that the audience member was removed, hopefully they took a walk or something after and cooled down. Pissed as they likely were I hope they found a life lesson to learn from this.
@@LowellaAskew ngl I think that just means you can’t take a hint
@@LowellaAskew You said so many words but im not sure what you meant by them. So he handled it badly in your opinion? And the reasoning is because he didn't just kick this person out instantly?
@@maybeitsyou1317 I think he handled it poorly by not getting that the person wasn't getting it. Coulda just given a firm "No" and they likely woulda stopped.
I think it sucks that the person got kicked out but I also get that they weren't stopping and something had to be done about it especially given that both sides - the audience member and Drew - weren't understanding how to communicate with each other. It was an unfortunate outcome but something had to be done. I wish they hadn't been kicked out at all but the past can't be changed. This can be a learning experience for both sides.
You just gave a masterclass in how to deal with a heckler. Well done!
You were being incredibly polite and professional towards such an obnoxious individual. I would have kicked them out on the 2nd "woo". Your patience with them is honestly outstanding and I have such a high level of appreciation and admiration for how you handled the situation while still maintaining some level of comedy to avoid people just dog pilling the girl.
Love your work, stay awesome!
The second? na you need to handle these types of heckles delicately otherwise you lose the crowds favor. You kick someone who has done nothing but cheer out that early and the audience will take her side. If their is mallace behind the heckle sure, kick them out off the bat and the audience will side with you. Without mallace you need to work your way up to that, otherwise the show gets super awkward and you flop.
@@LegDayLashey just FYI it's "malice" :) "mallace" made me laugh though, I kept imagining a mallet in the chick's hand, waving it every time she went "WoOoOoOoO!!!" 😅
But you're right, I agree there's a very delicate dance that the performer needs to do every time a heckler is involved. They must, first and foremost, keep the enjoyment of the majority at the top of their priorities -- if the heckler is adding to the show and they're engaged in friendly banter that the audience is into, great! But if it's disruptive (or worse, disrespectful) that's when the performer needs to determine how they will navigate... because now one person is fucking up the experience for everyone else, which is the performer's responsibility to handle gracefully.
Drew handled this with so much patience, it's crazy.
Drew you’re such a kind person and you couldn’t have been more clear. She chose her actions to get kicked out. You were just doing amazing as always. Love your content, thanks for the laughs!
Dude, you are AMAZING! You are one of the best comedians I have found in quite some time. You did handle that like a pro! That woman was out of line and she just didn't get it. Good on you, sir! Good on you! I really love how you handle hecklers. It makes your sets feel fluid and real. It doesn't feel like you are just reciting memorized jokes. I am sure some of them are, but you don't skip a single beat when you are interrupted! All the love and respect, brother!
very well put. he's the definition of what it means to be "in the pocket" except he's in it all the time. one of the greatest comedic genuises ever
Seeing you from AGT to now is actually fuckin incredible. Your stutter is barely there. Love your material and keep up the great work. Don’t let people like this stop ya.
As a stuttering comedian, this video is so important, you have no idea how hard that was for Drew. I get it man. You did really good. A true inspiration.
You could not have done any more! I have seen people get kicked out, berated, yelled at and insulted in some of the most offensive ways possible by other comedians for so much less. You are awesome for keeping your cool that long and trying to help her stay at the show. Keep being you, Drew!
Drew is so so good at communicating with people. He has a natural gift for being respectful and understanding.
Plus amazingly talented comedian.
Just a pure legend really.
Love your work drew ❤😊
Not at all, he’s a fake gaslighting firestarter
Who has nothing but a god complex and a egotystical way of going about things w gross tyranny
"I love to wooh, I do it on rollercoasters and bidets." Man that's an underrated line. Funny as hell
I had to pause I was laughing so hard! Can you imagine just hearing WOOOOOO!!!! From the bathroom?
i would have never known he had a stutter to begin with without seeing everyone's comments, as someone who had spent years working through mine im very impressed and proud of him to control it so well.
I really appreciate how well you deal with hecklers and are respectful but don't put up with bullshit. You also always make it funny and create a funny scenario to keep the crowd entertained
I hardly heard you stutter. From someone that's being following you since your days of being introduced to America on AGT to now. Im so proud of how far you've gotten not only in your career, such a talented comedian to just who you are and the hard work and personal growth you've shown. Such a great guy. Hopefully we see you come to Dallas tx. Take care Drew.
This was beyond professional and an absolute treat to watch. Very well handled 👏
Just stumbled on this video today. At 1:33 you recognize verbal tics and then in the set you perfectly used the '9/11' thing because if it was Tourette's, she would have made the same sound to that as well. I really appreciate people like you that are aware of tics and understand it's not exactly easy to control. The rest of the video further proves that this was just a rude, inconsiderate individual.
Thanks for being an awesome person!
The amount of patience and understanding this guy had during the very stressful situation of trying to remember a set and do some improv that makes the crowd feel the interactive comedy is amazing!!! Should be an example piece in lectures of human interaction and etiquette... at least I believe that. >>
The mental agility here is what makes you so delightful to watch. You had all these approaches to the issue and they were all professional and respectful and really funny and not one sounded rehearsed or overemotional until you got understandably frustrated after she called you a dick. You gave her a ton of ways out, which pretty much any remotely reasonable person would have managed to catch hold of, but didn't sacrifice your boundaries or the audience experience and you were able to keep the rest of the audience on your side and get back to warm and welcoming immediately. Really masterful to watch.
I was at this show. Up until the lady was kicked out, there was a whole undercurrent of tension you were dealing with. Once she was gone, the whole show became fun for everyone. Pleas come back to Des Moines!
If you've never used a bidet, you will probably "Woo!" the first time you do.
In my country, bidets are so rare i've literally never seen one anywhere. Every time I have to do a #2 anywhere but home I feel so unclean.
Man words can't express the shock I had hearing you speak at the start with no stutter whatsoever. You've not only managed to make a great success out of it since appearing on AGT, you've also managed to beat the stutter. I'm happy for you.
Because the whole thing was fake. It was a shtick.
Actually his stutter was real. People can and do get better with their stutter. It can take years before the stutter is barely noticeable but it still crops up when he is not thinking of tools he uses to keep the stutter on the down low.
I started watching when his stutter was taking over most of his jokes. I started focusing on life and not watching comedy shows for a while, and seeing this performance with not a single noticeable stutter so far is amazing. Always loved the comedy Drew brings.
Because it was a shtick. Which he doesn’t need anymore.

Holy shit Drew. From the first time I seen on AGT 2015 to now you have basically overcome your stutter. That is amazing. I'm so happy for you. You're a great comedian. Keep up the amazing work!
The last time I saw one of your shows, it was on AGT when your stutter was so bad, and it was amazing how you accepted it and made it part of your act. All the sudden I stumbled upon this video and your stutter has made so much progress and it just makes me feel so happy because you truly deserve it.
Well he has a whole channel filled with great content for you to enjoy! don't let this be the last you see him ;D
I was actually smiling at the end of how well you handled it, and you were so nice but she just didn't learn her lesson. That's so awesome dude well done!
This is just so amazing. I remember originally watching you on America’s Got Talent and since then you have come so far. I hardly heard you stutter once in this video and your success in comedy and your stuttering is commendable. Bravo. 👏
As someone who works crowd management for music and comedy shows, thank you so much for trying to calm her down. I have had a few shows where randomly the performer will point someone out to come up on stage and the whole section pointed at tries to get up. Also when singers ask for "all the beautiful ladies" to come on stage is the worst.
We were at this show!! Can’t believe it happened! You handled the situation very well!
I was there that night, Drew. You handled it very professionally and I am sorry you had to put up with that.
5:58 had me dying XD. You handled the situation very well
I haven't seen your videos in a while, YT put you as "related" and watching you not stutter makes my heart swell. I'm so proud of you and keep up what you're doing. You put a smile on my face every time.
Love ya, Drew!
Dude your stutter has improved so much! That’s awesome!
fr!! Not only that, but he has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don't have to 'punch down' in order to be funny.
Extremely well handled, whole crowd was still into it, man that went relatively well. Awesome work keeping your composure for so long and staying a consummate pro up there.
Dude, no stutter? Drew, what a change man. I’m so happy for you. 🎉
Handling that whole situation must have been so difficult. You were very considerate. I can't imagine anyone handling it better! Thank you for your fantastic comedy. :-)
“What not to do at a live comedy event”
Only in THIS F$$KING era would this *ever* be an actual video
-uhh man, beyond tired
(Genuinely 1 of the best “oh F$$K you then”’s I’ve ever heard! 😂)
You were so nice and patient about it
You gave her about 5 more chances than i would have, you have so much patience
At 4:20 is the perfect thing to say in that situation. I remember what it was like in middle school and early high school when I was just desperate for attention. I remember talking out in class as much as this lady is. If someone said this to me back then, that would have shut me up. Because I think I would have realized how serious it was and that I took it too far. It’s unfortunate that that wasn’t the end of it.
I was at the movies with friends during this era of my life, and I was making comments to my friends during ever scene. Obviously people could hear me, but I thought I was being funny. One scene the lady steps out onto her porch, and I make a gunshot noise with my mouth like, “pwkkkkkkhhhhhh” (have fun trying to pronounce that). That’s when someone below me turned around and said something. They were probably a bit rude, but understandably so. That alone was enough to make me realize that people weren’t laughing along with me and that I was ruining the experience for them. So I shut up real quick. A few minutes later the workers of the theater came in and that same person who turned around and told me to shut up pointed me out and said, “He’s the one being loud.” And when the workers looked at me, keep in mind I’m like 14 and terrified at this point, I turned around and point at some vague direction and said, “they won’t shut up.” I don’t think they bought it fully, but it was enough confusion to make them sit back and just watch over the room to make sure people still weren’t making noise. And because I had made that decision to stop talking a while ago, obviously they never fully confirmed it was me and I didn’t get kicked out. In hindsight, I feel so bad that I probably ruined the movie for those people. But I genuinely didn’t think I was affecting people in the moment. And I assume that’s what this lady is lacking in this moment. Probably drunk, so her awareness is impaired. But I almost get secondhand embarrassment watching her because it reminds me of how I used to be.
I should note that once I became comfortable with myself and I stopped caring about what other people thought of me, my desperation for attention disappeared, and my obnoxious outbursts disappeared. I’m a very normal person now, but hearing this lady outburst like this really kind of makes me feel bad for her. Almost like she’s so desperate for people to like her that she just doesn’t realize how annoying she is. And I hope she finds happiness in life.
