Melbourne mother Trish Faranda and her seven-month-old baby, Clara, were kicked out of Arj Barker's show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
A breastfeeding mother who was booted from a comedy show because her baby was distracting the audience appeared on The Project to discuss her 'humiliating' experience - only to be asked by Sarah Harris to take the crying infant off screen.
Ms Faranda went on to say that she'd already planned to leave the comedy show she'd booked a month in advance if Clara started crying, but didn't appreciate the way Barker handled the situation. 'Then he asked for support from the crowd, basically to say I should leave and they heckled a bit when we were leaving.'
Ms Faranda also appeared on A Current Affair on Monday, where she said Clara was no louder than a person coughing. While Australians initially labelled Barker's dismissal of the mother as 'disgusting', her interviews on Monday may have turned public opinion in his favour. 'I have kids and there is always a time a place for little children. This mother is so entitled it's unbelievable.'Barker performed his new show Mind Field at Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre from March 28 to April 21
