        ];
    }
}

The error message was clear. $comment is undefined. Replace your controller code with the follow:

public function store(CommentRequest $request)
    {


    $event = Event::findOrFail($request->event_id);

   // defined comment here
    $comment = Comment::create([
        'comment' => $request->comment,
        'user_id' => Auth::id(),
        'event_id' => $event->id
    ]);

    if ($event->user_id != $comment->user_id) {
        $user = User::find($event->user_id);
        $user->notify(new NewCommentEvent($comment));
    }



    Toastr::success('Comment post with success','', ["positionClass" => "toast-top-center"]);
    return redirect()->back();
}

In your controller: the variable $comment is not defined.

From Laravel docs:

The create method returns the saved model instance.

so the solution is:

$comment = Comment::create([
            'comment' => $request->comment,
            'user_id' => Auth::id(),
            'event_id' => $event->id
        ]);

you have not defined your $comment, you just created a comment. This is throwing the error

$comment = Comment::create([
     .
     .
]);

This will fix your issue
