Comedian, entertainer and commentator Joan Rivers died Thursday. She was 81.

Because of this, there is probably going to be a lot of pieces on her that you will see over the coming days and weeks about Joan. This video is a clip from the documentary "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work."

The clip starts out with Joan doing stand-up and telling what may be considered a controversial joke.

This joke leads to some back and forth with Joan and a heckler in the crowd. Joan then tries to explain to the man what comedy is.

After the show, a female fan brought up the situation. Joan explained she felt bad for what the man was going through, but he just needed to understand exactly what comedy was.
