Chortle, 18th March 2022Jack Barry review
Jack Barry was the opening act for the Mae Martin show SAP at the Leicester Square Theatre, and we all know that you can't judge a clown by a 20-minute warm-up set. So why am I writing this review? Well firstly, it's because he was a memorable character within Feel Good, which is one of the best TV shows I have seen since This Life. But mostly it's because he walked out on stage in front of a charged-up audience chomping at the bit to see their headliner, and he delivered. Jack Barry is a lot of fun to watch.
