Couple thrown out of comedy for laughing

A Lincoln couple who went to see a play billed as capable of making you “laugh until they throw you out” were thrown out for laughing.

Sharon Whitelaw and Tony Priestley attended a production of Bouncers at Lincoln’s Drill Hall, reports the Lincolnshire Echo.

But at the intermission, they were told not to go back into the auditorium, as other theatre-goers had complained they were “laughing at moments that weren’t funny, kicking the seats in front and being loud”.

“I think the whole way we were treated was like children,” said Miss Whitelaw, a taxi driver. “I wished the ground had swallowed me up at the time, I was so embarrassed.”
