    certain crowds, like what? of a certain demographic or like drunks?

    most hecklers seem to be completely blasted. never witnessed it in person, but i have only ever gone to small time shows with sober crowds earlier in the evening.

      Demographics mostly. Blue city in a red state. The downtown clubs rarely had hecklers, gigs in the outlying towns were more likely to draw ire for the material. How people handle their drunkenness is also part of it. People who are assholes sober seem to feel more entitled to blast their opinion while drunk, and not surprisingly I found a lot more of them in the suburbs.
