Never heckle a comedian, it won’t end well.
Someone in Edinburgh obviously hadn’t got that memo when encountering Dara O’Briain in a bar after a gig last night as his behaviour towards the Irish comedian was enough to get him thrown out.
Not content to leave it there, the lad in question then sent O’Briain a terribly abusive message on Twitter, probably not the best idea as a) he had probably had one too many and b) you’re never going to win a slagging match with a comedian.
A man just got thrown out of this bar for hassling me. In my defence, wow, he was a massive arsehole. So, y'know, deserved it.

He subsequently deleted the message but O’Briain had managed to screengrab it before he did.
As well as winning the argument with his response, Dara also highlighted his agressor’s eejitry to his two million or so followers.
Not that it stopped the troll in his tracks, mind…

Something tells us this lad will have a head full of regrets whenever he wakes up this morning.
