HEADLINE ACT Alistair Barrie

Alistair Barrie headlines, bringing with him exactly the sort of brilliance you'd expect from one of the most highly sought after comedians in the industry. If there's a club, festival, event or even a country that he hasn't entertained then there's a good chance that place isn't worth playing. One of the sharpest satirical minds in the world, Alistair's also a world class writer and the odds are that you've heard far more of his work than you realise all across TV and the radio. This rare trip to the south west makes this a real must'see event.


★★★★★ "A no-frills master of his craft" The Scotsman

"No one does righteous indignation with the same brio as Barrie, an inheritor of the splenetic mantle of the great 80s alternative comedians" The Guardian

"Barrie's analytical nous and store of snappy gags mark him out…Excellent" The Independent
