An Australian comedian really went out of his way for some laughs when he knelt down on the ground at a gig and began sucking on a woman's foot - right in front of her husband.
If there's one thing that's great about live comedy, it's the spontaneity that so often comes along with it.

Will there be a heckler? Maybe. Will you get called out for going to the bathroom in the middle of a joke? Entirely possible. Will the comedian end up sucking on your foot live in front of dozens of people?
Well, I wouldn't have thought so... but comedian Benjamin 'Frenchy' French is here to prove me wrong.
The Australian comedian is known for involving the crowd in his shows and regularly stops to chat with his fans, but he really took things to a whole new level of personal during a recent show in Bribie Island, Queensland.
During the show, Frenchy honed in on one woman in the crowd named Tara, who was at the comedy show with her mum, Trish and father, Steven.
Frenchy asked Tara what she did for work, prompting her to explain that she worked 'in retail'.
Things then suddenly took a turn when Trish chimed in to explain that her daughter worked in a 'shoe shop'.
In any other interaction, this would have probably been met with a response of 'oh, lovely', or something similar. But not at Frenchy's show.
The comedian responded to ask Trish whether the shoe shop was where she'd picked up her 'fresh kicks', dubbing her a 'saucy minx'.
Things quickly escalated from there, as Frenchy asked: "You ever had your feet sucked on?"
It's not a question any child wants to hear their parent answer, but the mum clearly wasn't worried about making her daughter cringe as she responded: "Maybe. Why, are you offering?"
A saucy minx indeed.
Frenchy insisted he would 'suck [her] feet', but he struggled to hide his horror when he realised that Trish was actually taking off her shoes.
Seemingly looking for a 'get out of jail free' card, Frenchy turned to Steven, saying: "Oh wait, is this your husband? Is it okay if I suck her feet?"
Unfortunately for Frenchy, Steven was on board. "Yeah mate, go for it!," he responded.
With no choice left, Frenchy got down onto his knees and stuck the foot in his mouth. I'm not talking a tentative lick here - I'm talking four whole toes, for a good few seconds.
The comedian bragged about going 'four toes deep' when he got back to his feet, but it didn't take long for the reality of what had just happened to hit him, causing him to sink to the ground in horror.
Things only got worse when Trish then claimed she 'hadn't washed her feet for a week'.
Full of regret, Frenchy said: "Why did I do that, it's too early in the show to be sucking a woman's toes. I'm sorry Steve."
Take this as a warning: don't take your parents to live comedy shows. Or if you do, at least try to sit at the back.
