Had a great time at Strikes-A-Mania on Friday! I go to a lot of comedy shows (and have been to 2 Strikes before), but this was even more fun due to all the wrestling references and the awesome crowd. The rowdiness of the crowd definitely added to the experience - EXCEPT for when they were participating during scenes.
There was one guy sitting near me who would yell stuff out during every scene. We get it dude, you know all the catchphrases. Let the actors perform. It's extremely disrespectful to the performers (and to the audience trying to hear them) when you yell stuff out during a scene. Unless you're prompted to by the host/actors - like in the Delete scene - the only acceptable participation is laughter.
I hope this was done out of ignorance rather than due to being an asshole - I figure maybe some people who don't go to comedy shows but came out to this as a wrestling fan don't know what behaviour is/isn't okay to do. Maybe the right person will see this. Maybe they won't care. But had to get this off my chest just in case it helps make the next show better.

"If you like to heckle, taunt and boo..."

"If you like to heckle, taunt and boo..." That almost sounds like a good point you're making, but just because it's encouraged during parts of the show doesn't mean you get to do it the entire show. Plus, my referring to it as 'heckling' is being incredibly generous. That implies there was effort on the guy's part to put together a coherent heckle. Instead, this guys was just yelling random stuff out, or loudly reciting the catchphrases as if he was the only one who knew phrase "And that's the bottom line".

My fault for posting a thought before I was awake enough to explain. I think advertising a show like that means sometimes you get too much of what you ask for. Reminds me of the "Raw after Wrestlemania crowd" phenomenon (we'll see how tonight goes...). WWE loves the tout that crowd as being loud and unpredictable, but then they can't really get mad when said crowd tries to put itself over. Either way, hecklers in all walks of life deserve a swift kick to the pills.
