A comedian has been praised online for how well she handled a heckler who admitted they have a crush on her boyfriend during one of her shows.
Comedian Kelsey Cook has gone viral on TikTok after an audience member confessed that she found the comedian's boyfriend ‘hot’, revealing that he ‘responds to her on Instagram'.
During her set, the comedian shot back with light-hearted responses after the heckler told her she’s been to see her boyfriend, fellow comedian Chad Daniels, live eight times.

While working the stage the audience member couldn't contain her infatuation, belting out: "I love your boyfriend, he’s so funny!"
For the majority of us that would raise hell, but the comedian took it in her stride, telling the crowd, “Wow. Thank you. This is really interesting, I’ve never had someone come to one of my shows who so obviously wants to f**k my boyfriend," as the crowd roared at her response.
The comedian continued the back and forth, playfully telling the woman: “That is so f**king rude. I know he’s funny! I moved to Minnesota, he’s that funny."
She then addressed the audience, explaining: "My boyfriend is actually also a comedian,” referring to Daniels.
The heckler then confessed that she thinks her boyfriend is ‘hot’ and 'cute'.

Instead of flying through the crowd, the comedian remained jovial and pretended to take her earrings out, getting fight-ready, before laughing and putting them back in, as the heckler shouted towards the stage 'it’s all good!’
While the tongue-in-cheek altercation was happening, the woman in the audience was actually sat next to her husband, which the comedian chose to press on for his thoughts on his wife’s ‘crush.’
She asked the husband: “What do you think of this?"
The first response can’t be heard, so the comedian quipped: “You've resorted to sign language." He then joked: “I think he’s got a restraining order against her."

She then returned to the woman and asked if her boyfriend has blocked her on Instagram, much to the crowd’s amusement.
The woman responded, telling her: "No! he responds!” to which Cook then pretended to be outraged, acting out calling her boyfriend before bursting into laughter.
In the video caption, Cook wrote: "The problem with dating your favorite comedian is that he’s other people’s favorite too."

Another said: “I would have flirted with her husband.”
And a final wrote: “He responds on Instagram? I beg your pardon!?’
