Angry heckler removed from Jim Jefferies’ Perth show.

An angry heckler was removed from Jim Jefferies’ WA show after walking towards the stage “to punch” the comedy megastar following jokes about US politicians.

The 1% Club game show host launched his Give ‘Em What They Want tour at HBF Stadium in Perth on Wednesday night however, it seems Jefferies didn’t give one punter what they wanted.

Robbie Von — temporary co-host of radio show HIT WA — captured footage of the moment a member of the audience became rowdy, saying it started off funny but turned into an unbelievably tense situation.

“Jim Jefferies, he was making some gags about Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Von said.

“And for some reason, this is the point where someone in the audience actually took issue — and all of a sudden we can just hear in the background, some guy yelling ‘Fs’ and ‘Cs’ and we looked around, he’s standing up, he’s pointing, he’s going nuts!”

Von said that Jefferies started hitting back at the heckler but his response agitated the man further.

The 47-year-old comedian then gave the man some time to get all the shouting out of his system but the man chose to stay silent.

“So this guy had his 10 seconds, didn’t say anything and then Jim started unleashing again,” Von said.

“And this guy in the crowd started walking towards the stage. . . He was going to punch on with Jim Jefferies, given the chance.”

Security interfered at this point, ushering the heckler to the door.

“He just barrelled him and the guy just got dragged out by security. It was unbelievable!”

Jefferies had the last laugh, telling the man “When you can afford to have 10 bodyguards, you can f***ing fight me …. I’ve got more protection than f***ing Trump’s son!”

Jefferies will now take his show to Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Townsville.
