Hecklers are a part of the business, for gay and straight performers alike, and Stuart takes them in stride. "They don't bother me. I'm in control of the show. I'll give you a little example. I was doing a show in a very small town in upstate New York. Some guy, right in the middle of my show, for no reason what- soever, stands up in the back of the room and says, 'I didn't come to no comedy club to hear no queer!' He was wearing a hat that said 'cap' or 'jerk' on it. 'I didn't come to no comedy club to hear no queer ... .' So I said, 'Yes, you did, and why don't you order another drink, baby, because I'm ex- pensive!' So I'm dating him now!"
