Lancaster Comedy Club - 9pm Show

'The vertically-challenged Scouser with a guitar, savage lyrics and a voice that will break your heart (if not your crockery); topical, incisive, witty and bloody-minded.' (Glee)

His original comedy songs combine razor sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the

door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly based in rock 'n' roll and refusing to pull no

punches, these are not the 'oh so witty' ditties of penguin-suited plink plonk piano playing

posh gobs. They are that rarity - comedy songs which are actually funny.

For nine years Steve was the smaller one in the dynamic comedy duo Skint Video, stalwart's of the Edinburgh Festival, appearing on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live, radio such as The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and their own show in 1992/3 Songlines (BBC Radio 1). Skint Video went their different ways in 1993, since when Steve has been storming across the UK and Ireland as a solo artiste.

"A highly refreshing and original comic” (The Scotsman).

“Satirical songs pulled off with real aplomb” (The Independent).

Much in demand as an act, Alistair Barrie has forged a reputation for himself as one of the top comperes to emerge in recent years. His deceptively friendly and engaging stage presence masks a sharp, dry wit which can be turned to subjects as diverse as suicide bombers in the Middle East to the perils of flying EasyJet.

Despite a fondness for topical material, any performance is likely to be peppered with some inspired silliness and a little audience-related improvisation.

'Eloquent, slick and dynamic' (http://www.Chortle.co.uk)

'One of the circuit's classiest stand ups’ (London is Funny)

'Smart, slick and truly funny. Don't take my word for it, check him out yourself’ (Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke)

'Barrie has a casually sardonic sense of humour and is sharp as a guillotine blade. Woe betide the bloody fool who tries to heckle him' (Cape Town Argus).

Raul Kohli mixes cutting-edge topical punchlines with jovial anecdotes, surreal stories and witty political analysis.
