Seasoned comedian Dave Hughes has unleashed on three women during his comedy show in what he called a “lesson” for everyone.

The 54-year-old veteran of the stage and screen on Sunday night said it was “frustrating” for both him and the audience.

‘I could hear loud incessant talking was really annoying the people around her as much as it was annoying me,” he told The Advertiser.

“I gave her at least three warnings. It was ridiculous. She had to go.

“I’ve no idea how anyone could think it’s OK to behave like that when everyone has paid good money to see a show.

“I said she could have a refund. She most likely won’t even remember any of it.”

He added: “I gave the group of women multiple chances.They were infuriating audience members near them and me as they were in the second row.

“The crowd reaction told me I made the right call. The show soared once they left.

“Hopefully people read this and realise it’s terribly selfish to behave that way during a live show.”

Video of the show, which 7News Adelaide first posted online, showed Hughes confronting a trio of women for talking during his Fringe comedy set.

The interruption caused him to launch into a speech, telling off the women.

The audience sided with the I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here alumni as they chanted “out” to the group.

“I’m sorry, it’s my f**king show, you have to shut up,” he told the chatty guests.

“If you talk one more time, you’re out. Alright, that’s it. This is f**king ridiculous.

“This is a lesson for anyone.”

He went on to call the behaviour “distracting” and the “height of rudeness”.

The trio eventually left following the speech.

Upon leaving, one of the women kissed Hughes on the cheek and shook his hand.

Many social media users agreed with the funnyman’s reaction, writing “good … if people can’t shut up (sic) for an hour stay away!”.

“While I don’t find him funny, I do agree with him, that it’s his show and the women shouldn’t have been interrupting his show. Sucked in to them.”

“Hope they learn a lesson out of it,” another wrote.

“Good on him — so many concerts and shows lately you go to and groups of people talk the whole time,” another user included.
