Aussie comedian jokes about ‘banning’ old people from shows after heckler’s outburst

A popular young comedian has shared his hostile encounter with an elderly man at a recent show, prompting him to joke about issuing an audience age limit.

A popular Australian comedian has joked about barring anyone over the age of 85 from his stand-up shows after getting into a bitter war of words with an elderly crowd member.

Rural NSW performer Blake Pavey – who has shot to fame on TikTok in recent years – is currently touring the country, and shared a video from a recent show where he was joined by Sydney comedian Aleks Milinkovic.

Things got off to a frosty start for Milinkovic – who was the opening act – with an American man in the audience brutally heckling him with barbs like, “I wish you had some talent” and “say something funny mate”.

Milinkovic returned serve in witty fashion, asking, “Is property not enough for you that you have to come and ruin my night?”

Relations deteriorated further when 22-year-old Pavey hit the stage, with the funny man not holding back after witnessing the audience member’s treatment of his support act.

“How does the oldest c**t here have the lowest IQ?” Pavey said to roars of laughter. “That is so f**ing rude, man.”

Aussie comedian Blake Pavey claimed he was banning over 85s from his shows.

Pavey got into an argument with an older man in the audience at his recent show.

The unidentified audience goer didn’t stop his tirade there, yelling out, “I’m still waiting to laugh.”

Pavey responded, “Ah, an American being an entitled c**t, what a shocker.”

Later, while Pavey was chatting to other members of the crowd, the man got up from his seat and went to leave, which Pavey clocked.

“Sorry, I’m trying to listen but we have a dementia patient in the room,” Pavey said.

As the ticket holder grabbed his things and exited by walking directly in front of the stage, he had some parting words for Pavey.

“I wish you were funny, mate,” he said, to which Pavey responded, “I wish you weren’t a c**t but we can’t all have what we want.”

The man then directed his middle finger at Pavey before exiting stage left.

The man issued a parting gesture.

Taking to his TikTok page to share a video of the clash, Pavey said he was issuing an age limit of 85 for his shows going forward following the encounter.

However, Pavey later clarified to news.com.au the comment was tongue-in-cheek, and he would not be implementing an age cap.

Pavey is a young comedian from rural NSW who’s big on TikTok.

In the comment section of the video, fans of the comedian have praised he and Milinkovic for their handling of the incident.

“That was dealt with so flawlessly,” one user wrote.

“I will never understand why people think it’s a good idea to pick a verbal fight with people who are professionally funny and witty,” another said.

A third added, “Humour is subjective. Being a prick is being a prick. he could have left politely? No he decided to hurt people.”
