Arj Barkers Babygate is far from being over just yet.
He couldve off-mic said, Its really disrupting me, do you mind?
and I wouldve happily packed up and gone.
I can absolutely understand why youd take a baby on a plane.
I cannot understand why youd take one to a theatre.
What was she thinking?
She chose to have a child knowing how her life would change.
Massive backfire going on national TV twice & proving how wrong you were!
It is distracting, not just for the comedian but for those who are sitting near the baby.
I wouldnt take my child and really nor should have she in my opinion.
I get that she doesnt get out much but she could have gone somewhere else.
At the 3 min mark Sarah Harris kicks the same baby off the air to avoid disrupting the show.
Then they lock replies.
You cant make this up.
Over the weekend, Arj had been accused of asking Trish to leave upon noticing that she was breastfeeding.
I had just started my show last Sat night in Melbourne, Arj explained on Instagram.
The Atheneum was pretty full and everyone seemed in a great mood.
A few minutes later the baby called out again.
Now I was quite concerned.
In my experience of doing comedy for nearly 35 years, an audience focus is a delicate thing.
If a noise or movement distracts people mid-joke, the payoff can be greatly diminished.
As she was leaving, I offered for her to get a refund, as a gesture of goodwill.
He later clarified: This was all to do with audio disruption of my show, nothing more.
For the record, I support public breastfeeding, as its perfectly natural.
Trishs TV appearances continued to ignite divided opinions
Thanks!
