Loved him the first time I saw him but when he came back a week later, at the same venue where the majority of people had also attended the week before, he used 95% EXACTLY the same material. The first time you see it, it was funny but he needs so much more material. I'm seeing him again at Christmas time, I hope he's found some new material by then!

Some comedians take eco friendly living so seriously they have no shame in recycling there material when there sell by dates have long expired. Having seen Barry three times over the last year and a half (York | Harrogate | Leeds) his set needs updating unless he's hoping to gig in front of the Altzeimer's society. For example he has on every occassion mined the botched June 2007 Al Qaeda attack on the Scottish airport. While Barry definitely is a funny guy and has charm in bucket loads he needs to sweep out the old stuff if he wants to build a fan base.

Saw him in Wolverhampton, really enjoyed it. Very likeable and he got away with the close to the knuckle jokes with his cheeky smile.

Utterly top notch. One of the easiest comedians on the circuit to like - good material, good presence and great delivery. Going places - I find myself hating him for being so young.

A genuine talent that will go to the top and stay there for a long time.

Excellent. Irreverent, intelligent, charming, funny and only 24

So friendly and funny

Barry is instantly likeable on stage, he has some great gags and appeals to audiences of all ages. He is definitly one of those acts that you know will be playing all the top clubs in the UK and around the world in a year or two.
