I've performed jokes about everyone from Democrats to the #MeToo movement, and never been heckled for any of it. In my experience, the closer it's gotten to this election the more viscerally hateful Trump's supporters have become.

On November 21, 2005, I took the stage at the legendary stand-up comedy venue; Caroline's on Broadway in New York City. From that point on until the COVID-19 pandemic struck this year, I have been performing constantly.

I grew up in Toms River, New Jersey, which I describe as a nice town, unless you've been to other towns. It's basically a small shore town that you drive through to get to all the cooler shore towns. It's about as far east in New Jersey you can go before you get wet. Imagine the type of place people rent cheap summer homes so they could get black out drunk in a cab on their way to maybe do drugs with their friends in a better shore town.

I did a gig in Phoenix, Arizona a year or so ago and once I got off stage the manager of the club wouldn't let me leave the main room because a Trump supporter was waiting outside to, in his words,"beat the hell out of me" for mocking his President. My life was threatened over a joke. Which is odd when you think about it because comedians comment on the zeitgeist, we don't pass legislation.The most recent incident I shared, and it went viral on TikTok.

In truth, I have been heckled far more by Trump fans than the left. But it's also true that the left are touchy about what they support.

If Joe Biden wins, all the Hunter's scandals will disappear soon. Joe is expected not to live long, Kamala Harris will be an excellent replacement. Congratulation to her!

Yes. I think even Trumplicans can support the lessdeath agenda. We have already seen McConnell denouncing the handling of the virus & we have seen no-maskers run to the ER when they’re ill w/ COVID19

Saw the line and was shocked when Biden wasn’t pictured

In the meantime, antifa have murdered people for wearing trump baseball caps, burnt down cities, and beaten up journalists. But we are SOOO sorry you’re being heckled.

They aren't Trump fans....they are Trump cultists.

So

Big deal .
