    I think it was ok for Arj Barker to ask the crying baby to leave. No hate for kids, but if you take your baby to a comedy show, or any theatre show, and it’s making noise please gracefully exit and let the performers do their craft and people watch the show uninterrupted. Hundreds of people paid for tickets to see a show, not listen to a grumbling baby.

      I agree. Don’t get me started on those barbarians who take calls on their phone during a performance. I could get really really nasty to such.

        A couple of times I’ve been in an audience where someone starts doing stuff on their phone (not calls) and you see a glow emanating from their seat. It’s infuriating, particularly if it’s a dark scene where you want to be focusing on the stage. If it’s that boring for you why did you come.

      No one should be taking a 2 week old baby to anything like a show.

      Babies need a nice quiet home. That poor baby. 😟

        Weeeell, babysitters are expensive, and it’s difficult to find good ones, especially in a hurry. I can understand if someone didn’t want to go through that hassle and cost of living pressure. But surely a pacifier and a small jar of honey would be standard operating procedure if you did bring a baby along.

          not many baby sitters would want to care for a new born

          can a 2 week old even have a dummy and honey?

          I’m thinking to when I was mother to a 2 week yr old, I didn’t want to go anywhere, still felt uncomfortable sitting, boobs like painful gushers, tiny baby that had to be feed frequently and cared for and my baby was an easy baby!
