@Seagoon_
I have no idea why the lady in question thought it was ok to take an 8 month old to a comedy night. Surley the other patrons are their to listen to Arj’'s sthick not the baby. Same if someone is on the phone.

Oh god, I just watched Baby Reindeer

two things, no three,

you just can’t tell who is going to become a stalker, I had one, a guy I had never met and didn’t know asked me out, I kindly declined, he got nasty immediately and then stalked for months.

I’m so self conscious and unsure that half the time I think I’m a bad guy. Watching that show , omg, not one thing the abuser did would ever cross my mind.

and lastly, and the most important thing, what this series is about, is male sexual abuse. 😭

Another thing in the show, friends and family, people who love us, will help us. Abuse makes people feel alone, don’t let it.

Just watch the show.

I don’t know if enjoy is the right word.

This is such a good show about men’s lives , I hope it has some positive impact.

Made me want to give mr seagoon so many hugs

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.

@SituationCake @Seagoon_ I keep seeing the comment “so drunk hecklers are gine but an innocent baby isn’t??”
I’ve been to multiple shows where drunk hecklers were removed from the audience.
I appreciate that mums need a night out and all that, but maybe pick a better spot to go.

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!

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.
