A comedian hilariously handled hecklers at his late-night show.
Look, getting up on stage and telling jokes isn't an easy task, so, when a bunch of audience members decide to annoy you with their every thought, it's easy to get mad.
But, comedian Lucas Zelnick handled things like a pro, using the interaction to get roaring laughs from the crowd.
Check out the hilarious video here:

Lucas had been in the middle of his set when a couple of crowd members started chiming in.
At first, it seemed like harmless stuff but when two audience members started passing their phones between each other, with footage of another comedian on it, Lucas had enough.
He told the audience members: "I love you guys, but if you talk during my [show] ... you're literally showing each other pictures.
He went on to warn the watchers: "I will have you kicked out so quickly. I'm so sorry. You look shocked. I don't know if you know how this works, but this isn't how this works."
But they persisted, and Lucas was forced to interrupt his set again, saying: "Okay, I mean seriously, I don't I have nothing against you. You just can't. I know you guys are gonna hate me now and I'll just have to play to golf shots just chipping every joke over your heads now because I made enemies of you in the first 10 seconds of my set.
"You're showing her another comedian at my show. You're cucking me is what you're doing. You're showing someone else TikTok clips of a different comedian. And I was supposed to be like, 'Oh, let me check that out.'"
Yep, that's pretty brutal, even by our standards.
Still, it'll come as no surprise that the heckler continues throughout the show, trying to guess the punchline and basically just being a s*** person.
Lucas goes on to ask the heckler if they understand the whole concept of coming to a comedy show and when she says yes, but it's 'fun' to heckle, he kicks her out.
Hilariously, the heckler started asking: "What did I do?" as she left.
The comedian went on to use the empty seat as the butt of his next few jokes, suggesting that she's might still shout out from thin air, like a heckling ghost.
He goes on to banter with the audience telling them that they're all 'out' too and honestly, it's a pretty hilarious watch.
And people started praising the comedian on TikTok, with one user saying: "Well handled!" while another said that it was handled like "The gentle parenting of drunk adults."
