Comedian Gets Engaged At Edinburgh Fringe

A comedian who is taking part at this year's Edinburgh Fringe has gotten engaged at the event, the BBC has reported.

Bec Hill was unexpectedly heckled during her show when her boyfriend proposed in the middle of her set. It is understood when Ms Hill put a question to the audience, her partner – Gavin Innes – who was sitting at the back of the room, raised his hand and joined her on stage.

The proposal came during Monday's performance of the Australian comedian's stand-up routine, 'Bec By Popular Demand'.

She said: "I was doing the show and there's a bit where I ask if anyone's got a back-up plan for if someone tried to mug them, and I do a bit of audience banter.

"This hand at the back went up and I saw this person stand up and I thought, 'oh my gosh, some weirdo's going to storm the stage'. They started walking toward the stage and they said 'I'd propose.' Then he came on stage and it was him."

She added: "He proposed and then I nodded and cried.

"And then he said, 'You have to finish the show now.'

"I had 10 minutes left to do so I performed 10 minutes with tears streaming down my face."
