TweetFresh from the Edinburgh Festival, Alistair Barrie ('One of the UK's sharpest comedians ️️️️ - ***** The Herald) is taking his hit show 'Woke in Progress' ️('utterly, utterly hilarious' ***** ️️️️️ - The Student) out on tour this autumn before filming it in London. Come and see this 'beautifully crafted hour' (️️️ - **** Scotland on Sunday) as a 'no frills master of his craft' (️️️️ - ***** The Scotsman) lets rip on the joys of bringing up a five year old and a three year old in his fifties while a succession of ever more appalling Prime Ministers do their very best to destroy a country that really doesn't feel like it needs much help at the moment.
Let's face it, after the last few years, you have to make jokes. What else can you do?
