Comedian Arj Barker is in big trouble for... removing a crying baby that was ruining his show? Okay.
2024 tour (no babies allowed) - lewspears.com/
hows your mouth?
Nz dates?
What about adult babies?
People were telling me about it but I didn't realise it was Arj. Poor guy.
You should do a bubs in arms session like they do at the cinemas. Untapped market clearly.
The interviewer asking the mum to eject the baby from an interview about the mum being ejected for her baby's behaviour is peak irony
It should be a comedy skit 😂
You sir have won best comment in my eyes
The only one who is permitted to breast feed at their own comedy show is Lewis
Thank you
@@LewSpearsthanks for the milk Mum!
The IRONY of them removing the baby from the interview without realizing that THIS IS EXACTLY why she was removed from the comedy show is peak comedy
We live in a Clown world
The baby having to be removed from the news interview is too damn funny.
Things babies hate:
Loud noises
Strangers
Unfamiliar areas
Sounds like a comedy show to me, man.
Who tf brings a wild baby that needs constant attention to a live show?
Bro there’s people who bring babies into movie theaters. Nobody said you had to be smart to have a child
@@blepblep469 Weak pullout game
People who have zero consideration for others. Zero empathy. I know the word 'narcissist' is thrown around a lot, but their lack of empathy and that they're now playing the victim is pure narcissism.
There are definitely situations where someone might have to bring a baby along. Maybe they can’t afford a babysitter. But if you can’t afford a babysitter for a night then maybe don’t go to a fucking comedy show that probably costs double lol. They’re walking public nuisances, should be common sense to not bring them to places like movie theaters or comedy shows.
@@paulw5039 agreed. It’s amazing how she completely ruined a comedy show for 700 paying people and yet reckons she’s the victim. Disgusting act of selfishness.
It was a 15+ show, that is litteraly the only thing to say here.
It's kind of surprising that the operators of the venue let her in to the show in the first place.
@@alexbowen8891 do one year olds not count what are you saying lol
@@alexbowen8891 Yeah they won't understand it, but they will also not be capable of understanding that you're supposed to not interrupt the show by screaming at the top of your lungs every 5 to 15 minutes. 15+ means more than just a content warning.
@TripleBarrel06 not always. I'm also not saying someone interrupting the show is OK either. I'm just saying purely about the content.
@@alexbowen8891there was no point in this last reply, take the L.
Normalize banning babies from places where babies are nuisances
That's not many places then
@@sadmermaid 15+ night-time comedy shows being one of them. Your baby may be the centre of your world, but it's not the centre of everyone else's.
@@paulw5039 I agree, I meant that babies are nuisances in many places tbh, I was cotton brained and worded it poorly.
I think it depends where it is. It’s hard for mums because there’s places where you are in public and a baby just goes off and then the mum is copping attitude for not being able to get the baby to chill and it’s not her fault. Like on planes there’s not heaps you can do about a baby being upset. Babies often cry on planes and I think while it’s annoying, acting mean towards mums is pretty awful.
@@sadmermaid Weirdly enough, I actually knew what you meant even though, as you said, you worded it poorly.
I have a Gen Z son. No offence meant to you of course.
i work at a comedy club in the us. states on our website, tickets and the front door you have to be over 21 to get in. And at least once a week an underager person tries to get in. And about every 6 months someone tries to bring a baby in. Telling people that the baby isnt 21 years old blows their mind. Every first response is "ITS A BABY ARE YOU SERIOUS,,?? " blows my mind to that people dont connect that.
People don't see babies & children as people but accessories and it _really_ shows when they aren't allowed somewhere with one.
I would assume there's other terms for the age restriction, but wouldn't the age of 21 normally be for alcohol licencing reasons. I'm not over your classification system but I thought 18 was your highest when it came to content related stuff.
@@alexbowen8891 technically, when it comes to age ratings for content, we actually have two. 17+ and R. That's for movies.
Kids aren't allowed in to 21+ establishments generally speaking because 1. Do you want a 12 yr old in a bar and 2. In some states it's actually legal to give kids alcohol, though in varying situations- however, notably, around six states allow kids to drink in bars so long as they have a parent or guardian present, and in sixteen other states, as a funny one, a minor can drink for medicinal reasons. So just in case, in the states, bars & clubs ban all 21 and under folk just as a measure to make sure they don't get in trouble in case someone brings their kid there and something bad happens to them.
Because something bad _would_ happen to them.
@nicestpancake generally speaking we have m15+ which isn't restricted just a guidance, MA15+ which is restricted unless you have a guardian or adult with you. And R18+ which is 18 over only.
Speaking licenced premisis Admittedly we have fewer states but our 18+ for alcohol appears somewhat simpler especially if you were travelling.
I would find the us system so confusing in some parts but safe way to play it is 21
@nicestpancake there's lots of pubs and clubs in aus that are very social and or family suitable venues. General rule is in the bar serving area no one under 18 unless accompanied by an adult.
But not to forget pure bar and night club like venues are 18 only and any consumption of alcohol is 18+.
Considering that the mother went out of her way to have these interviews, I'd say the main motive behind it was that she wanted her 15 minutes of fame
just try listening to your favourite song with a smoke alarm going off next to you
Standard modern human behaviour of putting yourself in a shit situation purely through lack of critical thinking, situational awareness or empathy and then being ignorant enough to blame everyone but yourself for a bad outcome
12:20 HEADLINE: baby removed from news interview for breast feeding
Mother appears on comedy show stage to complain about it.
My band director straight up does not allow babies and toddlers at our concerts. We’re recording, and if some baby won’t shut up, the band can’t use it for their assignments in the future. Find a babysitter or don’t go somewhere where you’ll be a disruption. It’s that simple.
Arj Barker should get the refund 😂
Imagine bringing a baby to a 15+ show and then complaining you got kicked out for the underage human that shouldn't have been there in the first place disrupting the show. The absolute entitlement.
If you feel like "You lose yourself catering to your children", it shows that you're not ready to be a parent and you should not even have a child.
100%. You have to make choices about your wants vs the baby’s needs. Responsible mothers who don’t have people who can watch baby for a bit so they can go out that does suck BUT they would then prioritise and say to their girls night soz I can’t go or can we go somewhere I can bring the baby. If you’re irresponsible you just take ur baby somewhere that’s totally inappropriate for everyone else and also is probably distressing to baby like this.
Arj is one of the very few comedians that come to my shitty town, so I'll back him no matter what 😂
When you have a child, you choose to have a child, and that choice involves sacrifices. Like appreciating that not everyone else chose to have a child, and doesn't want to listen to your infant constantly cry, or scream, in places that are supposed to be quiet. Like shows, on aeroplanes and at the movies. It's incredibly selfish to push you desire to have a child on to everyone else. You know this woman is going to be on r/entitledparents within a few years.
Even other parents don’t wanna hear babies screaming and crying when they’re on a night out 😂 finally get some time to yourself to go do something fun coz you’re responsible and got a babysitter and some entitled parent brings their baby along so your night of peace gets shattered. I’d have been raging if I was there
It's hilarious that @ 9:20 she thinks that everyone expects mothers/parents to be on house arrest. Just don't take your baby to a place where people paid money to go and there's an expected level of silence. If you want to cut loose, take the kid to a concert with some ear-pro. Thousands of things to do besides a talking based performance in a medium sized theater.
"When you have kids you lose part of who you are" what an immature and bleak way to look at parenthood. If you feel this level of doom about raising a child, don't have one if being a party animal in to your 40s is "part of who you are"
Nah you lose the part of who you are that stops you from being an inconsiderate asshole. Doesn't happen to every parent, just the shitty ones who need an excuse.
I mean also you can have a baby sitter if you are going there
honestly this just felt like a slow news day because when i heard about it the news was also talking about kangaroos fighting (just because it went viral on tiktok, probably because yanks have never seen kangaroos before) and that a little puppy had it's head stuck in a chair
People that bring a baby into a movie or a show are uniquely selfish people. They are like harley riders but they trap you in a space with them.
Babies ears are extremely sensitive to sounds. It’s one of the reasons they get fussy on planes. She never should have been let in. Tinnitus sometimes gets so bad for me it knocks me on my ass, I can’t imagine having tinnitus at 2.
Do you remember that time you were at the comics lounge and you had a big special planned for your your last show in Melbourne that went for like 3 hours.
There was a 'short' person at the front row and he got increasingly pissed drunk and kept disrupting you and even then you didn't kick him out.
It got so bad that when we left to go home they were vomiting in the alley and I'm pretty sure he pissed himself too. I am still in awe.
Your freedom ends where it impedes on someone else's. Taking a baby to a comedy show, or a great many other entertainment venues will ruin the experience for others.
Yes, that sucks, thats parenthood though. Get a babysitter. Take turns with your partner. There are ways over taking your child who probably doesn't want to be there either
People are being so obtuse about this. I’ve birthed and breastfed 3 babies for a year each. I’m 33 now so your 20s are like party time etc but guess what, I didn’t bring my breastfeeding baby everywhere with me. I had to make hard choices about my wants versus the baby’s needs. This was not an appropriate situation for the baby, it was distracting to the performer and therefore ruins the night for everyone else. If you need a night out but can’t leave baby at home go somewhere else like dinner maybe??
Also a 7 month old baby is more than capable of going without breast milk for a couple hours… it isn’t a newborn needing to feed on demand. Just attention seeking because she was embarrassed for her poor choices.
Well it is obvious that the real baby was not the one being breast feed the real baby was the mother who whined to every news outlet about how she innocently needed to whip out her boobies to breast feed a chid.
It's so stupid that I'm beginning to suspect that it's all a publicity stunt.
I feel that turning up to a live show, flight, movie with a screaming brat is malicious
The Media saw an uptick in problematic comedians back in 2017-2019 and now all comedians are menaces to society. I hope the journalists writing these pieces will grow up, ween themselves off of the formula, and unlearn this association.
1:46 wtf was that? 😂
Best editing joke I've seen
Why did the mother add the baby to the interview, even if it needed attention? Clearly it DOES NOT PROVE HER POINT.
I went to an open mic recently. Was a smaller gig, only 30-50 people or so. This one dude brought his kids (aged roughly 7-12 years old).
No idea why the organisers let them in, but every single comedian preceded to ask the Dad if they could say certain jokes. And some even cut sets short and didn’t swear or say certain jokes because the kids were there…
You know what I learnt from this is that Arj Barker still does comedy in our year of 2024
That surprised me too hahaha
Hey it’s Arj Barker from Flight of the Concords!
lmfao @ the cut away at 1:46 hahahaha
Thank god, someone mentioned it!
You did a great job humanising this woman while explaining your position I think
I love these rants!
Feeding in the interview, definitely not planned at all.
Spot on, you made the choice to have a baby and you have to accept some sacrifices for that choice. I think in a THEATRE you need to sacrifice if your baby is being loud and ruining the experience for everyone else. I'm a new father as well so dont feel this is a completely biased view.
I think everyone has encountered that move out of the fucking way i have a kid person. Trust me they were shitty selfish people before they had kids.
you should start a news series....
maybe something regular but not too regular, like bi-monthly?
@@cluckendip I reckon you might be onto something with that one mate. Since this was clearly a slow news day, he could call it something like bimonthly dull?
And maybe do it on say... a Bi-Monthly basis?
@tally5k339 how about bi-monthly bulletin? No that's too much of a mouthful. There's got to be a way to shorten that
@@iamseamonkey6688 lol
I don't bring my barking dog to live shows, it's called babysitters and planning things around your own situation. Had a baby that needs constamt care and cant be controlled? See the show 10 months larer when the baby dosnt need constant vocal attention. There are still plenty of places you can take a baby that dosnt disrupt other peoples paid experience
The entitlement is strong with this one 😂
This is exactly why I wish people would get off us parents who let our kids use an iPad out to dinner … I’m not doing it for me ma’am I’m doing it for YOU! My kid is loud and annoying and while I love them I am not oblivious to the fact that not everyone wants to fucking listen to them go on and go about Bluey at the same noise level as a chainsaw 🤦♀️
Oh boy I was so hoping you do a video on this 😁
lewis please bless me with tall legs
So glad you're back Lewis!! I am loving the style and vibes of the new vids - immaculate and very entertaining 😊😊😊
Yooo, Lewis Spears coming to the uk? I’m so hyped, definitely gonna try and be there
Can we all have a moment for the dad, may he rest in peace and hopefully get out alive.
Was waiting for Lewis to cover this, made for him!
love the new set 🔥
Mothers being allowed to have fun is such an Aussie thing.
its been 5 days of no sleep Lewis, i wonder how you survived for so long.
Very glad you're back you've made some good videos
I would love to hear what situations you've had to remove people from your show.
Love the vid as well, always good to see someone taking into account both sides of the story :)))
No infants permitted? Seems like you're going to have a lot of vacant seats 😢
Brutal 😂
Good one 😂
We were at the Leadbeater hotel last Saturday. Great show and we’ll see you next time…
Literally all the videos I can find on this are saying he is copping backlash, but I literally can't find one person online that is on this woman's side at all
“Lewis Spears - Shame, Shame!”
You should use this as the name of your next show 😂
Another hot take: If you have a one-year old there is absolutely no reason to take him on a plane and fly on vacation. You can live without going on a 16 hour international flight for 3 years until they are grown enough not to cry for the whole trip.
It should literally be illegal by law.
Not a hot take at all I reckon! Personally I think it's just as cruel to the baby as it is to other passengers. The cabin air pressure shift is painful for the baby and they don't understand why their ears are hurting, just that it's happening. Unless you're one of those parents that drugs them with phernergan or whatever, of course they're gonna cry and scream. Only time I'd say it gets a pass is if it's a non-recreational trip that can't be postponed until the baby is older and less sensitive. Otherwise, if you truly must have a holiday, road trip or cruise it, full stop.
@@RaptorGoesRAWR But even if it is a non-recreational trip, my question would be why the baby has to come with them. Nannies exist, time off of work exists, and at this point you are talking about medical emergencies which would be ridiculously unlikely. Why not take a cruise with a baby or something along those lines, the gentle wobble of a boat is actually soothing for them.
I for one cannot imagine any scenario in which I would say that taking a baby on a plane is appropriate.
Another hot take: Tough shit, I gotta deal with a crying baby 24:7 you're just going to have to deal with it for the next few hours of the flight.
tbh 3 years isn't enough to solve that. I had an over-night flight behind me, someone had a kid, maybe 7? Who kept complaining increasingly louder while we were trying to sleep. At least the dad was trying to control him, but the mother was listening to some movie with headphones on and kept sporadically laughing. I was too tired to even tell her off.
@@Axemun That's not a hot take. That's just you being an a-hole.
Super creative composition and editing. More of that style 🦍
It was a 15+ only show. She breached that rule.
As the first rule of equity says, you must come with clean hands, she didn't...so as Willy Wonka said, "You lose, you get nothing, good day sir"
Who the fuck even want's to bring an infant to a comedy show? Probably one of the last places I wanted to bring my 10 month old son to... There's nothing for a baby to do there. A place where you can't move around, it's most likely dark where you sit, and you have to be quiet... some people...
But why did he turn into johnny sins! 😂😭
I saw the news segment on TV and I couldn't understand why someone would even bring a baby to a show. Even if the baby is was well behaved, its a ticking time bomb before it screams, needs to be changed, etc. But even if everyone else was somehow ok with this, a crowded, loud, dark show is not an appropriate place for the baby itself, let alone an adult show.
And then she decides to be the baby and throw a tantrum. Skews the story and whinges on radio and national television. Because this is totally news worthy and she totally didn't do any wrong.
I really don't like the Project, but sometimes they are hilarious in the most unintentional ways.
I totally agree with you. If I paid good money to see your show,I'm entitled to watch it free from distractions or at least as distraction free as possible.
Its not illegal but its just not the done thing to disrupt actors in a theatre or musicians at a concert ( more like a classical music gig, not a slayer show) by getting up and leaving during the performance, neither is creating a ruckus at a comedy show. Can ruin the timing and flow of a show and that's disrespectfully the comedianand the audience
It's stories like this that make me glad not to own a tele anymore. This countries media is just one ridiculously exaggerated dumb unnecessary story after the next. Why is this even on national television? Dumbfounded by it all really.
I can understand breakfast television covering it. Those show are all about fluff.
Woman couldnt even control or prepare her baby for a TV interview that is probably MUCH shorter than a whole comedy show.
Now here we go haha
That women's hairline is worse than mine!
Personally, the best bit about going to the cinema or any live show are the screaming children. Goosfraba.
Why isn't the Baby's wellbeing part of the issue? Surely the baby would hate being in a cold noisy theatre.
No Infants permitted, sounds like you have a new name for ur next tour
"Hey parents..... leave your kids a home.'
It's probably too long to a show title though.
@@justinm2697 “No Infants Permitted” is my proposed title
why is my manifesting of a brisbane show not working
The fact that the child had to be removed from the interview itself proves how justified the guy was for kicking her out
Babies are important, yes, but they are also extremely loud and cause disturbance everywhere they go. That’s acceptable in many places but not acceptable in some, especially those where your sense of hearing is important…like a comedy show
Most mothers are responsible enough to realize this and will (temporarily) leave the set/theater/cinema to calm their kid down and get it to stop making loud noises. If the kid can’t stay quiet, it shouldn’t be allowed in there.
Do whatever you want as long as it isn’t negatively affecting anyone around you. Loud children in enclosed spaces do.
Hiring babysitters is too hard i guess
Her argument was her baby could only be breastfed and had to be with her.
I would have liked to see some discussion into parallels to other comedians who have had various interuptions during their sets.
Luke kidgel comes to mind, I beleive he had a clip surface of a baby/toddler at one of his shows, he also has had a handful of people with torretts at his shows - you'd have a better idea of how much that actually occurs compared to clips he might put out (my only real point of reference would be Adelaide shows his done)
Wild how much this has been on the "news" though, such a non story thats been repeated heaps with bad info.
I just noticed that Lewis doesn't have his braces anymore.. Good on ya Mate!!
What has the world come to now that our most reliable sources of news is stand-up comedians?
Also... When I was a kid my mom left the house constantly. Several times a night for about an hour...
My tia watched me, or another girl from the neighborhood or something. Mother's CAN in fact go out without their baby too. That IS in fact an option.
An hour at a time you say? Multiple times a night?
her not realizing that she feels like the baby is louder in her completely silent room compared to a show where 700 people are laughing points to me that she doesn't stop to think for a moment about what she's saying and only goes by feel.
No shit your baby didn't sound as loud when 700 people are making other noises, learn how tf your brain works (it doesn't).
They should have been the target for the show until she left from shame... Although I suspect she doesn't have the ability to feel shame.
xD GO LEW

You cant talk off mike at the Athanaeum at the comedy festival. They haven't got the time to leave the stage, you're on the clock. Even the audience has to go out the back so they have time to get the next audience in.
went to an arj barker show in tanunda, was about 12 of us in the audience when the lights went on he only went on about how bad his career has gone. he did have some funny material tho
Hello Lewis, I understand you heard about 500 people in a theater laughing and clapping before.
In your expertise, would you suggest putting a baby in the middle of that?
I'm reading something about 90db being able to cause causing permanent hearing loss for babies, but what do I know.
Grate video
Nice 😁
Hey, do your shows have discount tickets for babies since they won't be able to understand the show anyway ?
Lewis Spears coming to the UK? How well is the King?... Oooh, this could be interesting.
Lewis on time with news tf?!
Don't bring babies to a place where grown ups are trying to escape them....
Regardless of what happened, who tf brings their baby to a comedy show? That's hardly an environment for a baby, it's loud, there's probably alot of bright lights. It's just not an environment for a child especially not one so young. Everyone pays their ticket, so they should be able to experience the show without being disturbed.
DID HE SAY UK?!
Parents need to learn to get a baby sitter or let their parents watch their children while they have them time. It’s better for the parents and children
Hang on a second, why'd you pronounce "caveat" wrong?? You said "Cay ve et", I would say "Ca ve at", and personally I found this a bigger issue than Arj kicking out a breatfeeding mother at a comedy show.
Okay - this mother is deliberately breastfeeding in every interview, in my opinion. One could almost say it's contrived for effect.
Me, me, me - emblematic of many in society, today.
