tribe_update_event not working

I am trying to update the venue of an event using the tribe update event function. But when I try to run the function it causes a timeout error on my site.

Here is my code

add_action( 'edit_post', 'update_venue_hack' );
        function update_venue_hack($post_id) {
                $venue_title = get_post_meta($post_id, '_EventVenueIdTitle', true);
                $new_venue_get = get_page_by_title($venue_title, OBJECT, 'tribe_venue');
                $new_venue_id = $new_venue_get->ID;
                $event_args = array(

                        'Venue' => $venue_title,
                );
             tribe_update_event($post_id, $event_args);
        }

What am I messing up here?
