No, but you may practice with one. Especially low skill (new at it) comedians tend to really suck at dealing with hecklers. That said, if you’re seeing a heckler in a clip, the comedian probably specializes in it (and as such it’s known that it’s ok to try to best them) or hired a plant. Many clubs will kick you out for heckling, especially when a performer is a bigger draw. Even relatively big names can really suck at dealing with heckling. This is partly because when you aren’t getting good responses from the audience you tend to get unsure, shaky, and struggle with everything. Real hecklers usually are going after someone who’s started flopping.
