Speaker 1 Summary

McKee thinks that comedy venues shouldn’t prevent heckling. Why? For two reasons. First, heckling is a long-standing tradition in stand-up comedy. Second, comedians are able to give entertaining responses to heckling.

Speaker 2 Summary

Chapman argues toward the implied conclusion that venues should prevent heckling. To support this point, Chapman says that heckling is only a tradition because it’s tolerated, not for any merit of its own. Chapman also claims that heckling is usually a distraction that’s only fun for the heckler, rather than a source of entertainment.

Objective

We need to find the statement that McKee and Chapman do not disagree on. This could be a point of agreement, or something that at least one speaker is neutral about. One such point is that comedians’ responses to hecklers can sometimes be entertaining.
