Comedian defends decision to kick ‘breastfeeding’ mother and baby out of show

1. Sensational journalism including “breastfeeding” in the title to attempt to drum up support for the woman. This wasn’t about breastfeeding.

   > “She wasn’t screaming,” Faranda said of the alleged disrupter, her young daughter, Clara, whom she had tried to settle by breastfeeding. “She was just being a baby, she gurgled a little bit, she had a bit of a whinge … nothing loud.”

   So the baby was definitely loud. Also why are you bringing a baby to a comedy show?

   > “The show is strictly aged 15-plus, as clearly stated on the ticket site,” Barker said.

   So, she shouldn’t have brought the child in the first place.

2. Baby was just trying to meet the two drink minimum!

   Seriously, comedy shows are not for infants, breastfeeding or otherwise.

3. A baby shouldn’t make it into a club like this, despite the crying it can get loud and potentially dangerous for the child’s hearing. Class act Mommy

4. Honestly, I feel bad for the mom. I don’t think most people realize how hard it is to enjoy normal human things after having a child, even if a baby is well behaved.

5. > He was trying to perform and he couldn’t

   How soft is this guy that he can’t present rehearsed material with a little bit of crowd noise?

6. Like Major Payne once said “Pop your titty out that kid’s mouth!”

7. 1. Infants should not be allowed anywhere like a comedy show or a movies.
   2. Once the baby starts acting up, go to the lobby and take care of it. Don’t stay there and divert all the attention to yourself. It’s incredibly rude to everyone else.

8. The comedian shouldn’t have had to deal with this, if it was 15+ the venue should never allowed her inside with the baby.

9. I have kids, love kids, enjoy kids – but don’t think they should tag along to every grown up event, even if I personally am not bothered by them. I remember recently my wife and I seeing the movie Joker at a late night showing and there was a family on the front row with three kids all looking to be under 8. Not cool, kinda ruined the experience.

10. He was right to ask her to leave but in no way should he have humiliated her. The mother needs to learn some spaces are not for babies.

11. We need more child free spaces..

12. A time and a place, eh?

13. Why was a woman bringing her kid to a comedy show anyway???

14. In a somewhat ironic twist, the mother was doing a TV interview and they told her to hand the baby over to someone else because it was making too much noise and disrupting the interview.

15. And this is why I don’t have kids. And this is also the reason why I’m always babysitting. The best gift a friend can give at a baby shower is the offer of babysitting services.

16. The show is either all ages or it isn’t. If it’s all ages expect idiots to bring children.

17. Some parents are far too comfortable bringing their child every where. Can’t afford a sitter? Maybe buy condoms next time.

18. Bringing a baby to a comedy show is dumb, the strip club and hookah lounge too packed?

19. I would be pissed if I paid to see a show and someone brought their baby. I go out to get away from my kids.

20. Woman shouldn’t be allowed to just un-breast anywhere they like. She should have gone to the restroom.

    Also, it’s gross. Women get sexual pleasure from breastfeeding. Use a bottle.

21. >Comedian defends decision to kick ~~‘breastfeeding’~~ mother **who he was not aware was breastfeeding** and **crying** baby out of show

    Fixed. Clearly worded to sound like he kicked her out for breastfeeding. Would expect better from The Independent.
