Nottingham comedian Matt Forde has blasted parents whose crying baby disrupted his show. The political satirist and Spitting Image voiceover star complained that it derailed large parts of his touring show 'Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right' at the Edinburgh Fringe because "they wouldn't do the decent thing and just leave when it started crying."
Speaking out on Twitter, the comic said: "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." He went on to say that he realised his tweet sounded "whiny" but explained that he'd spoken out to make sure it didn't happen again.
"It's like someone's phone continually ringing and them not turning it off. I've had so many messages from people who were there last night who were very polite about the fact it p***ed them off."
