2 Worlds Collide Podcast

Short Clip | Merrick Watts on Hecklers, Crowd Control & Comedy Warfare

11 Mar 2025

Description

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: πŸ‘‰ The wildest hecklers Merrick has faced (and how he shut them down). πŸ‘‰ Why comedians have to assess the audience for potential "threats" before a show. πŸ‘‰ The difference between a good heckle and someone who just wants to ruin the night. πŸ‘‰ How crowd work can turn chaos into comedy gold. πŸ‘‰ The crossover between comedy, resilience, and staying sharp under pressure. This isn’t just about stand-upβ€”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. πŸ“… Full episode drops this weekend! πŸ“’ Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au πŸ“± Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🐦 TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast πŸ“± X: @2worldsPodcast πŸ”₯ Watch & Subscribe for More: πŸ“Ί YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more!
