Well he is comedian, so he could made a joke or mock the caller lady but not spilt the dummy and walk off!

In any case, why should he or any performer have to deal with ignorant people who disrupt everyone else's enjoyment?
I'm not particularly keen on him either but why pay to go and see him then spend the time on your phone?!
Jason Manford post this in reply, and shock about this lady, who is this lady???

Good grief she was much worse than I had realised - very disruptive and probably drunk. Not much else they could do but remove her.
His step mother?
You'd have to be drunk to sit through McIntyre's act. He's always come across as a rather precious and unfunny prima donna. If he was any good as a comedian, he'd have left his rehearsed routine and made a few jokes to cut her down to size.
Any decent comedian would've had her for breakfast.
Rubbish. Someone who is intent on engaging in pathetic and drunken verbal abuse is not going to produce funny banter. She was also abusive to other people who asked her to be quiet - are they supposed to banter with her too? There is a huge difference between banter between comedians and the audience and someone who is just ruining it for everyone, and her behaviour should in no way be excused as something comedians should expect and deal with.
You are aware that comedians rehearse their 'spontaneous' put downs as well (as far as they can) you know?
Yes, I'd agree with that.
Hardly worth paying to attend a show if she's just going to sit there yapping on her phone all night. Obviously out to cause a stir, by the sounds of it.
I think the knives are out for him a bit the same way most people who make it big get mid-career. It's almost a response to their overexposure - which the media cotton onto - before late on they get hailed as geniuses.
There's a youtube vid of Richard Herring trying to deal with a heckler and in the end it just turns into abuse and he tells him to go and commit suicide.
Not were comfortable for the audience.
Here’s a 45 second intro, including the guy who started phoning as soon I started speaking.

A couple of years ago, we went to a small stand up gig of local 'up and coming' comedians and there was a woman in the front row who was absolutely blitzed and one of the poor chaps who was obviously very 'green' had to abandon his set because she just made his life impossible. She too was on her phone and shouting out stuff. Security threw her out in the end.
There's only a certain amount of 'heckling' and 'banter' that can go on before something has to give.
Do you want to put all you talk up on here?
I would,be interested to hear it all.
I took exams last year for my degree and despite the invigilator announcing four times prior to the exam for people switch to off their phones one blokes phone went off twice during the exam. I think it is just plain arrogance and pig-headedness. Immediate expulsion from the venue is the only way to go with these idiots.
Most ill-mannered people I've ever come across in concerts / shows.
That smiley actually looks rather like McIntyre's face!
Wow you managed to turn this into a thread to vent at people not even being discussed
