Canadians weigh in on Richards meltdown

A Canadian Press article seeks insight into the Infamous Factory Meltdown by quizzing Yuks mogul Mark Breslin and some comics from up north. One describes Richards’ performance as “a very amateur, childish response.” Others offer advice on how to deal with hecklers.

Other Canadian comics said Tuesday they were astonished by Richards’ outburst, saying they have their own tactics and techniques for dealing with hecklers – none of them involving the shocking route that Richards took.
