Comedian furiously hits out at heckler before grabbing his friend's phone to expose his texts

A female comedian was filmed lashing out at a male heckler at one of her standup shows after she took umbrage to a comment the audience member made about one of her jokes. Natalie Cuomo, who was performing at the DC Comedy Loft in Washington, D.C., screamed at the man to 'f**king look me in the eyes' and accused him of 'putting negative energy out there' after he offered to 'roast' her. Posting a video of the incident on TikTok, the 30-year-old comedian captioned it: 'Right after I said how grateful I was for everyone being there and selling out the show, this little man in the front row decided to let his true colors shine.

'Always stand up for yourself!! And if you're going to be rude, at least have the decency to LOOK ME IN THE EYES,' she added. The video began with Natalie conversing with the man in question as she said: 'Wait, what made you want to ask him?'. The man replied and asked, 'Why are you making it sound like we're a couple?' to which Natalie responded: 'Oh my God, don't be scared.'. He then fired back: 'It's not my fault you don't have material,' which appeared to leave Natalie a little lost for words.

'Wow... it's not that... wow, look at you. I could leave right now,' she told him as he then said: 'I can roast you too. You can't just roast all of us and get nothing.'. Comedian Natalie Cuomo lost her cool with a heckler at her standup show in Washington, D.C., last weekend. As the audience reacted, Natalie nodded her head and suggested: 'Hmm I see, so you were afraid because you felt like I was saying you're gay...'.

The man then offered: 'I can take the mic,' but Natalie was having none of it. 'I will say this, it's such a hard time in this world right now,' she said. 'There's so many people that came together to be supportive and f**king amazing, and you're putting negative...' she trialed off, before kneeling down and starting to shout. 'No! Look me in the eyes!' she shouted at him. 'You're putting negative f**king energy out here! This is the last show of my f**king... look me in the f**king eyes... look at me!'.

She continued ranting: 'This is the last show of my f**king weekend, it's a sold out show and you wanna say mean s**t to me, okay, so don't f**king do that!'. The audience quickly applauded Natalie and started chanting her name as she took a sip of water before she told the man: 'You can leave.'. Moments later, following the man's departure from the venue, Natalie announced to the crowd, 'this man is texting his friend, it's so cute,' before she added: 'You can leave too, I won't be offended.'.

After the man left, his friend passed their phone to Natalie so that she could read out text messages he said sent after leaving. The friend then handed Natalie his phone so that she could read out the text messages that had been sent by the now-absent heckler. As she jumped up and down, Natalie began to read them out: 'Lol, what a f**king clown, I did warn you I would get kicked out. Man, she is sensitive, especially for a comedian.'.

She then decided to use the phone's camera to take a selfie of herself giving the middle finger, and no doubt sent it to the heckler as the crowd cheered her once more. People were quick to comment on the video as one TikTok user wrote: 'I've never seen a comedian scream at an audience member because they're being heckled.'. Another person said: 'Half of me loves this. The other half notices that other comedians use their quick wit and demolish hecklers with jokes. Not yelling at them.'.
