Matt Damon might be fond of funny lady Sarah Silverman, but her audience in London on Sunday had little love for the comedian — in fact, they heckled her.
After Silverman reportedly performed only 40 minutes of material at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, an unruly crowd refused to leave the theater and began shouting for their money back, the BBC reported.
In an attempt to soothe the ruffled audience, Silverman reportedly returned to the stage for an impromptu Q&A session with the crowd, where she admitted having no other material prepared.
During the Q&A, angry fans voiced their disappointment with the performance.
Some in the crowd reportedly yelled, “You’re over-hyped Sarah!” and, “I’ve seen longer clips on YouTube!”
Silverman responded by telling the audience to “go home,” according to the BBC.
London Times reviewer Dominic Maxwell, who saw the short performance, said even though opening act Steve Agee fell ill just before the show, it does not excuse Silverman's negative reaction to a crowd that was just asking for more.
“F--- this,” Silverman muttered with smiling disbelief as she returned to the stage, already changed into her post-show slippers,” Maxwell wrote in his review of the show.
“As she stalked the stage, appearing to resent her crowd for wanting more, it was the eggiest end to a comedy show I’ve ever seen. Edging back to the wings with a mock-grandiose bow, it was the usual petulance but without the usual inverted commas. She blew it,” Maxwell said.
