Barry From Watford at Plowright Theatre, Scunthorpe
About the show
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 his 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.
Featuring - Barry From Watford
Endearing and enduring 82 year old Barry from Watford was first brought to public consciousness when he became a cult star on Iain Lee's LBC 97.3FM phone-in show, phoning in a few times each week to offer the benefits of his octogenarian wisdom. Since June 2009, he has been a regular feature in the form of “lifestyle guru” on Steve Wright In The Afternoon, BBC Radio 2.
