Edinburgh fringe comic hits out after couple bring their baby to adult show

An Edinburgh Fringe comedian has shared his frustrations after claiming a baby crying in the audience had 'derailed' his performance.

Comic Matt Forde took to social media to explain that the youngster had interrupted his set on multiple occasions at the Pleasance Courtyard on Monday. Although acknowledging that it "must be tough" to be a new parent, Forde claimed that the couple had failed to do the "decent thing" and leave when their child began to cry.

Dividing opinions on Twitter, the comedian said he had received many messages from ticket holders complaining about the noise, the Daily Record reports.
