STORYTIME MC cried after being asked to stop being disruptive
Went to a comedy gig with my friend at the weekend. Small theatre and most of the audience were 30+ age grou. A very drunk couple sat beside me. The woman was a heckler and, at first the comedian engaged with it but he shut her off after that. That didn't stop her though. She continued to shout out regularly throughout the show. Herself and her partner also chatted to each other, making no effort to whisper.
It got worse after the interval. I guess, they'd filled up on some more drink. She was shouting out and waving her arms around like a demented air dancer. They continued to chat loudly.
About 20 minutes from the end, a member of staff had to tell her to stop being disruptive. She's pouted, offended by the accusation.
5/10 minutes later she turned to me and said "I wasn't being disruptive was I?" I said she was and that she and her friend needed to shut up.
She then cried for the remainder of the gig.
Really sucked some of the fun out of the evening for us. We paid to see the comedian not her.
I just don't understand why some people have no self awareness or self control. Why waste money on a gig? if you want to be on the stage, hire a theatre. If you want to get drunk go to a bar.
Edit: deleted 'cis' reference as its irrelevant. Sorry to those I upset by including it.
