I'm after some quotes for my dissertation on female audience popularity at burlesque shows as some of you know! So i'm after comments/jeers that people have said to the performers out there (or what audiences have heard)
oh you have such an antique look about you .
I think she may have meant retro.lol well I hope
she did, it still make me giggle even now.
mmm thinking about it now I quite like the antique
Idea.
I had that a few times when i started doing a Bettie Page tribute back in 2000. There was no Burlesque scene so i think people just didn't know why there was some random girl in big knickers kicking the air, smiling maniacally and waddling around in circles to quirky big band music.
- and fair enough.

Perhaps slow dancing while reciting 19th century American gothic poetry in a New Zealand accent to a drunk (standing) Scots audience wasn't the best example of understanding the needs and desires of ones audience.
The articulate gentleman was escorted off the premises and I reduced my 18 verse poem down to 7 verses. The same audience was raised to their feet applauding only 10 minutes later with an energetic can-can. something more on their level.
I compere a lot of stand-up comedy shows, and often run a joke competition along the lines of "what is the difference/similarity between x and y" - usually 2 random celebrities (or a celebrity and a household object).
Anyway, I did it once and got the following answer written on the entry form from 4 girls sat at the front.
"36B 34C 36C 32D"
Which I found to be one of the funniest answers I've had to any of the many competitions I've ran. And also one of the kinkiest!
We get many many very sweary answers too, which are usually irrelevant to the question - but often end up winning cos people just like to hear lots of dirty words!
Working as a comedian you get hundreds of insults and when I compere I usually ask the audience to get all the heckling out of their system right at the start - and often ask again later in the show when people are drunker and when the heckles get much louder, cruder and offensive!
As I'm quite often the only non-disrobing performer on a bill, I would be stunned if a gig went by without someone telling me to "get 'em off".
As for the best heckle I ever had while street performing - how about a woman pulling down her pants and taking a dump right in front of the audience in the middle of my act?
What's the rudest/funniest jeer you've had?
