> The heckling reportedly began after Rangathan made a joke about racism in football.
There’s a rather useful American phrase for this – *”A hit dog will holler”*.
More detail elsewhere but I can’t say it really clears anything up for me:
>The Sun states that the abuse started when Romesh cracked a joke about racism in football, quipping: ‘I’d rather be a P**i than a Scouse’, which is said to have caused a male audience member to start chanting: ‘Millwall!’
>Responding to the man, Romesh is said to have remarked: ‘Why are you letting everyone know you are a racist?’, which is then reported to have spurned the woman to start ‘yelling racist abuse’ while ‘pointing’ at the star.
>The source added that the man had yelled the racial slur : ‘Hip-Hop coconut’ and told how it was ‘awful blatant racism’ before commending Romesh on the way he handled things.
I’m not into football so maybe someone can help; how is it racist that the guy shouted “Millwall”? And wtf is a “hip hop coconut”?
Why would she even book tickets to the show if she’s prejudiced toward the performer?
A particularly poor purchasing decision, there.
Imagine spunking 20 odd quid to yell racist drivel for an hour and a half. Thats called being a Millwall fan
Why do Millwall fans go to comedy shows? They just end up getting chucked out. Twice I’ve seen it happen up in the fringe.

Can’t wait to hear him and Tom take this piss out of this on [the podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/49taGrum1qcozh4K7O0beZ?si=azj72fmQTHyrJs3zZE2IYQ)
I take these hecklers with a pinch of salt. Half the time it’s staged so that it goes viral for free advertisement.
I can’t find anything about what she said? Does anyone know?
Not shocked tbh…maybe some of the audience can go pull down a statue or something to think that they are part of the solution.
