Arj Barker copycat? UK comedian Adam Kay slams fan at his Sydney show - just ... trends now
Adam Kay has become the second comedian this week to disrupt his own set and shame an audience member from his sold-out comedy show.
The UK comedian, 43, followed in comic Arj Barker's footsteps on Monday night when he brought his Sydney show to a grinding halt over a disruptive fan who kept using their phone.
He lost his temper at the sold-out Enmore Theatre, ending his set by shouting at an audience member after joking that he would also kick out a mother and her baby like Barker, 49, did over the weekend, reported news.com.au.
One fan seated in the front row drew the former doctor's ire when they repeatedly used their phone throughout the set despite being told they were not allowed to.
The author of best-selling book This is Going to Hurt reached his breaking point by the end of the night after asking the fan to put their phone away multiple times.

Despite warnings from the comic, and a message before the performance which said use of phones was strictly forbidden, the patron continued to use their device.
Kay was wrapping up their hilarious show with a moving anecdote about the struggles he faced as an NHS doctor in Britain when tensions came to a head.

'Put. Your. F**king. Phone. Away!' Kay shouted at the fan who was seated in the front row.
Kay went on to immediately end his show, saying: 'You've been a wonderful audience... except for one person who's really f**ked me off.
'Seriously, don't go to the theatre,' he told the patron.
