Further details
Shaun Williamson, best known for playing Barry in EastEnders, gets all dolled up when he joins the fashionistas at Paris Fashion Week, aiming to discover what makes them laugh. Can the self-confessed Ugly Barry, who's more used to performing stand-up in working men's clubs, find comic material from a bunch of moody models and crazy designers? Shaun's challenge is to perform a gig that will make them laugh - but will his routine make him a fashion darling or just so last year?
