From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Anyone who thinks it's funny to not only heckle but be both sexist and unoriginal with it should take note from the man whose cry of “get your t**s out” saw him ejected from a venue by Amy Schumer in the most humiliating style possible.

Schumer was performing at an event in Stockholm, in Sweden, when a member of the audience decided to shout “show us your t*ts”. The man responsible was also sat wearing an “I love pussies t-shirt”, a telling detail that did not go unnoticed by Schumer.

“OK, wait, I want the guy who just yelled ‘show us your tits’ to come up here,” she said. “Everybody point at him, so I know which one.

“Now don’t get shy, what do you do for a living?”

“Sales.”

“Sales? How’s that working out? Is it going well? Because we’re not buying it."

Then Schumer spotted his t-shirt.

“That’s really cute, but if you yell out again, you’re going to be yelling ‘show your t*ts’ to people in the parking lot, because you’re going to get thrown out, motherf**ker.

“Don’t throw him out," she told the bouncer, "just look him in the eye, tell me if you’re going to see a scarier motherf**ker than that guy … I’ll show my tits when I want to.”

Despite being given a reprieve, the man couldn't contain himself for barely 30 seconds when he began heckling again.

As Schumer likes her shows to be democratic, she asked the audience to clap if they wanted the man out. Judging by the thunderous round of applause that followed her request, they did.

Heckling a comedian rarely ends well.
