Like I've been to a lot of your gigs and I've seen you're incredibly tolerant because everyone thinks that they're your best mate, and everyone's yelling stuff out at you all the time.

At one point they were talking to each other and I thought they were they were going to point out that someone had some sort of you know issue, if you know what I mean what it is, Yeah, one of them. Yeah, I hear, And I did have that thought, but it was just too much. It was like I just couldn't you know what I what I ended up what I realized when you're talking to people who the one was clearly drunk, and but I realized that she won't even remember this the next day, you know, so you're trying to be nice to someone who won't have any memory of the incident at all, and you know they might have been watching the news bigs that ended up on the news and going, I wonder who that was, without realizing it was it.

Was the other thing, ex husy. It seems like you had the crowd behind you as well, Like it wasn't like you threw them out and then the crowd wasn't supporting you. Because I think for most people when they go to comedy shows, whether you get the hecklers or you get people like you were saying, just commenting on your set so far complication. It's as frustrating for the rest of the audience as what it must be for you when you're up behind the mic.

Yeah, I could see people around these people getting really annoyed, and I was getting really annoyed. So yeah, look there's the reaction from the crowd. I didn't realize it was going to be that strong, but yeah, there made me no, you know, I'd made the right decision basically, so, And you know the funny thing is we had to stop the show for probably three or four minutes to get them out. But as soon as they left, the crowd like lifted a level. They're like, yeah, we are going to bloody laugh really hard at everything you say because we agree with what you did. So yeah, you do worry that it will just kill the vibe of the whole night, but it didn't.

I'm like, what are you doing? Do you have no everyone you understanding of what you've bought tickets for Like, what are you actually doing here?
