I do often seem to be the only person irl that thinks some people I know well have something going on that they can't control but wish they could. And therefore there could be something undiagnosed going on. For example extreme overtalkers I care about. They must have some social intuition to realize that they've lost the person or group with the intense talking at them vs with them chronicly. Anyways thanks for sharing this.

I love that Drew considered the tic possibility too. I think, perhaps because of his own speech issues that it would make him more aware of disabilities and accessibility issues.

I also seem to remember a great interaction in one of his clips from a show, where he was talking with a Deaf woman, she had her phone on the stage to help her hear via it & into her hearing aids, iirc, he ended up walking round holding it for a bit because she could hear better through it.

Few can actually empathize without having to have had the *exact* same experience (so I hate it when people want to play issue Olympics and claim "you couldn't possibly get it") but there really is something profound about temporarily experiencing some kind of issue, be it mental health or physical disability. I've had phases with both, and while I've always been empathetic, more than ever it literally KILLS me to see someone suffering from a debilitating mental issue. Physical disabilities are much less heartstring jerking, cause those folks typically have levels of dedication higher than 90% of able bodied folks 😂 I think the biggest thing you can do for someone dealing with issues, is don't pity them.

There have been performers who don't even take disability into account with such behavior. There was a news story a while back about Hadestown when an actress called out an audience member for her "phone," which was actually a captioning device for accessibility. The way you handled it without asking "Do you have a disability or something?" was genius.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Right?! That Hadestown experience was such a stark difference to Drew's reactions in all the shows I've seen clips from. I remember a clip of his where a Deaf person in the audience had put her phone on the edge of the stage because it had an app connecting it to her hear aids, it led to a great interaction, I have a memory of Drew even walking around holding it for a bit, along with his mic. Not many performers would be so chill. [TL;DR - feel free to skip, I'm just ranting lol] I remember hearing about that Hadestown situation at the time, I believe it was a misunderstanding/miscommunication - I think I heard the stage manager had forgotten to tell the cast or something about the captioning device - but... disabilities in the audience or public in general, suhiuks be treated as just a regular occuranch, there shouldn't even _need_ to be a case of them being "told" someone is in the audience. Instead it should be a natural consideration (because you never know when someone in the audience is disabled, there's a good possibility there's gonna be at least few in each audience). Attitudes like that are partly causing the barriers that disabled people face to social experiences...when considering going to a show etc: I know too many people with various different disabilities who feel too worried about being negatively singled out or treated as if they are doing something wrong, so they don't go to movies, shows, or clubs, etc. Or because fighting for equitable accessibility that able-bodied people can take for granted...is just too exhausting for some to deal with and it can suck all enjoyment from going places (eg wheel chair users being denied entry because they're "a fire hazard" smh). Most people just don't stop and think, unless they have someone in their life who has disabilities... and sometimes even then they still don't consider it. There's just this general presumption that everyone is able-bodied until otherwise informed, and why should disabled people have to advertise their disabilities in order to get accommodations that give them equity, that should be automatically there. Like it's crazy that in 2023 how many public buildings are still not wheelchair accessible, for example. I've heard so many stories about kids with diabetes who have an insulin monitor & pump getting told off by idiot teachers for "using their phone in class" or even confiscating it, when it's literally the ting keeping them alive...and at the same time refusing to listen to the child trying to explain, and all while there are notes on their files or they have a special needs statement/plan (depending on what it's called in others countries, in the UK it's either SEN support- special educational needs; or an EHCP - Educational, Health & Care Plan, for a diabetic kid it'd be the latter) about it but it's being ignored🤬. There was a kid with a seizure condition who ended up injuring themselves when they fell out of their chair having a grand mal seizure after the teacher wouldn't listen to their request to go to the nurse as was their plan when they felt a seizure approaching. Teacher then panicked, not knowing what to do.. Fortunately, the kid was OK but it could have been very different if they hadn't had a friend sat beside them who knew what to do. In the UK, they introduced something called the Sunflower scheme: it's a lanyard with sunflowers on, that people with hidden disabilities can wear to let people know they have an invisible illness or disability. Partly, it was brought in because disabled people with invisible disabilities were getting verbally berated and even attacked for something as simple as using the disabled toilet while not looking 'sufficiently disabled enough'. Seriously 🤦 (and it's gotten even worse with the anti-trans bullshit, because apparently if you "don't look disabled", then you're either doing drugs in the disabled bathroom or you must be trans...and if you're neither of those than you're clearly just some asshole blocking "real" disabled people 🙄. Idk what is happening in this world). So, opinions on the lanyards are very divided among disabled people. I've been disabled my entire adult life, I have several chronic illnesses and keep collecting more because they have a knock on effect to other things. Unless I'm using my wheelchair on any given day you'd never know. The scheme is designed for people like me. But I despise it with a passion...why the hell should we have to advertise to everyone in the world that we have an illness or disability?! It's bad enough that people...strangers... already think if you're sitting in a wheelchair then they have an excuse to treat you a certain way and feel entitled to ask all kinds of personal questions. Those lanyards just give them another free pass to ask intrusive questions they have no right to; heaven help you if you refuse to answer their nosy questions about "so what's wrong with _you_ then?" and "can you still have sex if you're paralysed?" ..."can you even feel it?" I wish I was kidding but those are questions I've heard people asked. However, I know some people do genuinely find them helpful, it's almost a reassurance to some people, because the expectation of the disabled person is that a shop worker etc will recognise their lanyard an offer assistance, or that people will be more understanding of things like tics and neurodivergency etc. Unfortunately, during the times of covid when masks were expected to be worn in all indoor public places & transport, people who had no need for them were buying them online, so they could fake an illness exempting them from wearing a mask. Honestly, I've seen more support for them from able-bodied people 🤷🤦reminds me of how historically lepers used to have to ring a bell to let everyone know they were "unclean" so people knew not to get too close. It's not just that I hate that the lanyards give certain nosy people an added dose of The Audacity™️ , it's that even when you do give disabled people a system that is designed to make life easier, there are still assholes who will ruin it for everyone by faking needing it, but mostly it's because they shouldn't be necessary in the first place. Sorry, got a little rant there, I think be cause it just takes so little extra effort to be considerate that not everyone is the same, and so many public spaces, companies, and governments even, just can't do that.

@@hawkeyescoffee6399 I agree with every word. I myself had an usher come to tell me to turn my phone off, but my phone had an app that displayed captions. It didn't even work right. The Hadestown situation mainly boils down to this: It is NOT the performers job to interrupt the show for the entire theater in order to tell someone to put your phone away, it embarrasses them in a situation where they don't need to be embarrassed. It's the usher's job, and sure they don't always do it well but the performer should just carry on anyway for the sake of the ENTIRE audience.

You were obviously getting angry with her for being disruptive but stayed as nice as you could and very professional and respectful of her experience and enjoyment there. You drew the boundaries better than I would expect most comedians and didn’t use her as a reference point for a joke or anything that should offend her, but rather got personal with her and expressed your concern for her having an encounter with security and told her you wanted to be friends. You could’ve gone without cussing her out but in all honesty, I would have done the same. She had every opportunity to avoid that and still took advantage of your kindness. Keep up the good work.

I still don't understand to this day why people don't actually adjust how they're communicating and instead insist on continuing with this needling method that has triggered a sense of intense shame for much of our lives to the point that we refuse to take it any longer and instead react with defiance. Personally I respond better to a firm "No." How this went woulda just told my brain "Oh, this is play time so I should engage in play mode." I'll never understand people who treat ADHD as a monolith. That all being said though I am glad that the audience member was removed, hopefully they took a walk or something after and cooled down.

Without mallace you need to work your way up to that, otherwise the show gets super awkward and you flop.

​​@@LegDayLashey just FYI it's "malice" :) "mallace" made me laugh though, I kept imagining a mallet in the chick's hand, waving it every time she went "WoOoOoOoO!!!" 😅 But you're right, I agree there's a very delicate dance that the performer needs to do every time a heckler is involved. They must, first and foremost, keep the enjoyment of the majority at the top of their priorities -- if the heckler is adding to the show and they're engaged in friendly banter that the audience is into, great! But if it's disruptive (or worse, disrespectful) that's when the performer needs to determine how they will navigate... because now one person is fucking up the experience for everyone else, which is the performer's responsibility to handle gracefully. Drew handled this with so much patience, it's crazy.

At 4:20 is the perfect thing to say in that situation. I remember what it was like in middle school and early high school when I was just desperate for attention. I remember talking out in class as much as this lady is. If someone said this to me back then, that would have shut me up. Because I think I would have realized how serious it was and that I took it too far. It’s unfortunate that that wasn’t the end of it. I was at the movies with friends during this era of my life, and I was making comments to my friends during ever scene. Obviously people could hear me, but I thought I was being funny. One scene the lady steps out onto her porch, and I make a gunshot noise with my mouth like, “pwkkkkkkhhhhhh” (have fun trying to pronounce that). That’s when someone below me turned around and said something. They were probably a bit rude, but understandably so. That alone was enough to make me realize that people weren’t laughing along with me and that I was ruining the experience for them. So I shut up real quick. A few minutes later the workers of the theater came in and that same person who turned around and told me to shut up pointed me out and said, “He’s the one being loud.” And when the workers looked at me, keep in mind I’m like 14 and terrified at this point, I turned around and point at some vague direction and said, “they won’t shut up.” I don’t think they bought it fully, but it was enough confusion to make them sit back and just watch over the room to make sure people still weren’t making noise. And because I had made that decision to stop talking a while ago, obviously they never fully confirmed it was me and I didn’t get kicked out. In hindsight, I feel so bad that I probably ruined the movie for those people. But I genuinely didn’t think I was affecting people in the moment. And I assume that’s what this lady is lacking in this moment. Probably drunk, so her awareness is impaired. But I almost get secondhand embarrassment watching her because it reminds me of how I used to be. I should note that once I became comfortable with myself and I stopped caring about what other people thought of me, my desperation for attention disappeared, and my obnoxious outbursts disappeared. I’m a very normal person now, but hearing this lady outburst like this really kind of makes me feel bad for her. Almost like she’s so desperate for people to like her that she just doesn’t realize how annoying she is. And I hope she finds happiness in life.

That was fantastic. I loved the off the cuff defusing which alienated that moron from the audience while building your rapport with them while making the audience feel shielded from yet still a part of the collective awkwardness so they felt solidarity with you. It shows a high emotional intelligence, you just destroyed her coming out not only totally unscathed but stronger for the way you did it. Subscribed XD

Awesome job handling that situation Drew. You literally did everything you could possibly do and the rest was on her. And I gotta say recovering from that NOT EASY. But of course you did because you're an amazing talent and comedian 🙌🏼👍🏼💪🏼👏🏼
