Comedian Matt Forde's rant about crying baby at his gig sparks huge backlash

A comedian has caused quite the debate after telling parents not to bring babies to shows.

Matt Forde, who currently has a show at Edinburgh Fringe, took to Twitter to share his frustration over a crying baby at one of his gigs.

He wrote: "Someone brought their baby to my show last night. Sadly it derailed large parts of it because they wouldn't do the decent thing and just leave when it started crying. I get that it must be tough as a new parent but please, don't bring babies to adult shows. It's always a problem."
