James Barr: Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex To My Mum)
- Old Library Downstairs
- Full price £18.25 (including booking fee)
After more than 150 performances around the world, James Barr brings his multi-award nominated show to Newbury.
A bold, 'genre-defying' (ArtsHub) hour that tackles domestic abuse and emotional cruelty without ever feeling overwhelming or despairing, landing as both a poignant and life-affirming hour of stand-up comedy. A darkly hilarious reckoning with shame, survival and a pushy-wushy down the stairsy-wairsy.
Nominee for Best Show at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy and the Queer Performers Award at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex To My Mum) was also named one of the best reviewed shows of Edinburgh Fringe.
As seen on Hits Radio Breakfast and Piers Morgan Uncensored.
