Jack Barry: Alien

Jack Barry is set to embark on a UK tour with his latest hour of razor-sharp, whimsical comedy with Alien from 5th April to 11th July, including a run at London's Soho Theatre from Thursday 9th July to Saturday 11th July.

Alien tackles the vital importance of communication in an immigration-obsessed political world. Your best friend (and celebrated stand-up) Jack has fallen in love with someone from a completely different culture, and now he wants to help the world do the same. This brand-new hour looks at the humour in what unites and separates people from different cultures, drawing on Jack's experiences growing up as an English boy in China and his present day struggles of trying to convince Her Majesty's border control not to deport his girlfriend. Directed by Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Mae Martin, the celebrated show was highlighted as one of only 8 comedy shows in the Sunday Times' Best of What's on at the Edinburgh Festival 2019.
