Barry From Watford: Shooting From The (New) Hip

Demagogue? Iconoclast? Dilettante? Virtuoso? Ok, these words have nothing to do with the show, but they do make it sound clever and that's what it's all about.

Shooting from the (new) hip, still alive and kicking, the nation's favourite octogenarian and hit of Radio 2's ‘Steve Wright in the Afternoon’ and Sky Atlantic's ‘Common Ground’ returns with a brand new stand-up show armed with fierce one-liners, biting satire plus some effing and that sort of thing for the teens.

A rip-roaring, fast-paced hilarious show.
