Most relevant part to this sub begins at 5m55s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH3PK9Q79jc&t=5m55s

But you'll be missing out if you don't watch the whole set.

Good set, thanks for sharing it. About the bit about hecklers and the US comic who performed in Glasgow, the comments have people assuming it's Amy Schumer, probably just because dudes who reflexively hate Amy Schumer are going to reflexively hate on Amy Schumer, but I don't think she has a show on Netflix. I suspect the comic is Michele Wolf as she recently had a late-night talk show on netflix that had a season's worth of episodes and she had a bit of a bump in fame from a performance in Washington DC for I think the White House press corp. I think she's funny and I think her performance in DC was brilliant and really right on target. I can't speak for how she handled a 'heckler' conversation in Glasgow though. Wolf performs a kind of a vocal fry and uses a characterish voice something along the lines of Fran Dresher.

I suspect the the anecdote may be in part fictional. I guess people like to hate on Schumer because they believe her to be overrated by others. She's not the funniest person in the world, but she's no Chris D'Elia.

Good point, she does have to take a real-life thing and make it performable so what ever happened and who ever did it don't really matter.
