In comedy clubs, comedians get negative hecklers and an abundance of audience interaction, which often spurs viral social media videos. However, in a larger theater crowd, hecklers are mostly positive — and, as you can imagine, it's only amplified when you have such a large fanbase.

“There's people that are just excited, and sometimes I feel bad being like, ‘Shut up,’” Kurtis jokes. “These are the jokes that I've spent the last two years really working on to make sure that they're really good, and then there's a way that I want to say them, and there's a timing to it. When people are yelling stuff, it obviously throws that off.” Article continues below advertisement But he’s handled his fair share of hecklers, which is why playing in a theater to positive shouts is so different.

Regardless, for any comedian, especially one so tuned into social media, cancel culture can be a tricky subject. For some comedians, our heroes and role models have been “canceled” — but what does that even mean? Kurtis notes, “People who have been 'canceled' are still doing stuff and still making s--t, and people like them.” It’s true!
