If you have not seen A Piece of Work, the documentary about Joan Rivers, I recommend you find the time to do so. There is a moment when Ms. Rivers is heckled on stage. The cameras are rolling so you watch the interaction go down. You cringe as if you are watching two parents fight with each other. Afterwards, Ms. Rivers discusses what it is like to be heckled and how your brain is in overdrive, thinking of what you want to say next while predicting what the person will come back with. I cannot begin to explain the anxiety that would run through me if someone gave me shit while on stage.
