A heckler hurled a beer at a comedian’s head at a New Jersey club Saturday night, prompting the comedian to chug the beverage like an absolute champ.

Ariel Elias was doing a set at Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club in Point Pleasant Beach when she asked the audience if they had any questions for her, video of the incident showed.

“Did you vote for Donald Trump?” a female audience member screamed.

“Why would you ask me that knowing I’m the only Jew in this room?” Elias joked. “Are you trying to get me killed?”

The female audience member continued to heckle Elias, asking whether she voted for President Joe Biden. (RELATED: ‘Did You Sh*t My Pants?’: Comedian’s Wild Impression Of Joe Biden Leaves Megyn Kelly In Stitches)

“If it makes you feel any better, I vote in New York. My vote doesn’t matter there,” Elias responded. “Guys, everybody vote for whoever you want to vote for. I don’t care who you voted for, I’m just happy we’re all here together.”

Elias then told the audience member she could “tell by the fact that you’re still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for Trump,” sparking a huge round of applause.

Someone then threw a beer can at Elias, which narrowly missed her head and struck the wall behind her. Club owner Dino Ibelli told Buzzfeed News that the heckler’s male partner threw the can.

Although visibly shocked, Elias kept her cool, grabbed the beer can and chugged it.

Members of the audience could be heard exclaiming “Oh my God!” and “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Elias told Buzzfeed News that at first she was “in shock.”

“And then I saw the beer can and I was like, I mean, I have to drink this. Like, there’s nothing else I can do with this. This is the only way to recover. I have to drink it. So I drank it!”
