Pretending not to speak English is the second-best thing to do IMHO.
I had that happen once ("got change for this dollar?"

). I gave the thug-wannabe duo my best wide-eyed innocent slightly-quizzical smile, shrugged, and very sweetly cursed at them in Russian.
Watching their hard-ons shrivel when everyone around them started laughing at them was priceless. Boy did they look stupid when I not only gave them NO reaction, but made it seem like i had no idea what they were saying!
Another thing that usually works like a charm is when an asshole makes a snide comment, smile and innocently but loudly say "oh, i couldn't hear you. What did you say?" They usually will just squirm and stammer and look stupid, because they don't have the balls to repeat it.

But taht usually works better one-on-one, not onstage.
