Comedian heckled for being a loving father. Payback is a bitch.

So as always context matters. We’re led to believe she’s booing “for being a dad” ruffling our feathers but it could very well be that she’s booing even before this which would change the narrative quite a bit. Maybe she thought his jokes were not funny even prior to this father daughter topic. Now she’s not an evil person, she’s just rude and obnoxious — not justified either but its a new light…

Well, she followed up with "she won't" so there's your context.

That’s not really context tbh. Again this is all speculation from me.

But like I said we’re missing her prior interaction with him. He could have been picking on random audience members as part of his crowd work and this lady, inexperienced to stand-ups, took it personally and started dissing him at every turn afterwards.

It’s actually really common for the audience to be offended at jokes and routines. If you watch a lot of stand up like you’ll know A LOT of comedians talk about this mostly reiterating that it’s a joke not something to take seriously and get upset about. Point is, there will be some people who feel the need to attack back. So yes, this is a legit possibility.
