Jim Gaffigan says heckling has worsened post-Trump

Jim Gaffigan has encountered his fair share of hecklers as a stand-up of more than 25 years. But, according to him, the heckling has worsened over the past year, ever since Donald Trump was elected president. Gaffigan’s comedy is typically apolitical, but occasionally his personal political opinions will bleed through, at which point the hecklers and Trump supporters attack. While it hasn’t been terrible for him, Gaffigan has noticed it more frequently for more outspoken, political comedians, like Jen Kirkman. In the video above, he discusses the current state of heckling in comedy.
