Finishing off the stand-up comedy year in Barnard Castle is Angela Barnes with her tour show Hot Mess.
She is to appear at The Witham on Tuesday, November 28 promising stand-up, stories and jokes from one of the UK’s finest comedians.
Angela Barnes is known for appearances on Mock The Week, Live at the Apollo, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and has good intentions, but trying to live your best life, as it turns out, is really hard.
She swapped a career in health and social care for stand-up in 2010 and hasn’t looked back. Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award and has now gone on to UK tours and starring as a regular on BBC’s Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, and Hypothetical on Dave.
She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz – including a recent stint as the host – and she has also hosted BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack. Besides this, Angela co-hosts the popular podcast We Are History with John O’Farrell.
Promoter Peter Dixon, of Funny Way To Be Comedy, said: “Angela is extremely popular among comedy fans, many of who have been following her progress for many years.
“In recent times she has become a household name following regular appearances on Mock the Week and The News Quiz. We are delighted this major tour show is stopping off in Barnard Castle.”
