After many appearances on Mock the Week and various podcasts (namely Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown during a lockdown episode for me) it was finally time to see Barnes in person.
A hour of storytelling about her lockdown experience, becoming married and being there for a close comic friend undergoing cancer treatment, it's an overall feelgood show offering hope and belief in love filled with punchy jokes and a well-riffed (or was it meticulously planned) moment where technology ironically failed Barnes' set. A very well constructed hour from an engaging, confident, energetic performer, this was a very enjoyable show that has the right level of poignancy for an impactful Edinburg show. I look forward to watching Barnes again at future festivals and tours.
