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

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. 📅 Full episode drops this weekend! 📢 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🐦 TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X: @2worldsPodcast 🔥 Watch & Subscribe for More: 📺 YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more!
