Political Memes

Still not hearing any definitive proof. Professional comedians, especially well educated ones, can and do have quick and witty comebacks pretty often. And like I said, it's possible that he gets heckled so much because of his reputation for engaging with hecklers, so it may attract overconfident hecklers to come see him.

I'm not gonna knock the late, great Robin Williams, but it's a little weird to say that he's the only person capable of disarming a heckler this effectively. I think most accomplished comedians could do what Steve Hofstetter does, more or less; he is much more knowledgeable about economics and civics than most probably are, so he's able to wield that handily.

Idk anything about his reputation for being an asshole. He's constantly getting work and tours with a consistent group and seems like a good dude, so I have my doubts, and I'm not interested in looking that up for myself when you're not even willing to do it to prove it to me. And yes, hecklers do get tossed from his shows. He usually tries to get them to stop, and then if they don't then he usually embarrasses them to the point that they leave on their own, but some are so shameless that they do need to be removed. That generally happens after the rest of the crowd gets so pissed off that a fight seems likely.

I'm not saying that there aren't plants. I'm saying that I'm only seeing speculation and no actual proof to support that accusation. I'm not down with alleging that he's a fraud when there's no evidence to do so. Imagine destroying his livelihood just because you didn't believe he could possibly be this good at his full time job lol. Comedians are notoriously good at this sort of thing.
