Irish-Australian comedian Jimeoin says heckling isn’t as negative as it’s made out to be.

The hilarious stand-up comedian and actor tells Chris Smith hecklers often take a show to the next level.

“I find that heckling, 90 per cent of the time, is a positive thing. People are trying to break the ice.

“Whenever I watch a show and someone heckles there’s something that happens at that point that takes it up a gear.”
