Barry Dodds (back to comedians)

Barry Dodds has forged an enviable reputation for himself over the past few years, charming audiences nationwide, with his uniquely tailored combination of disarming Geordie wit and wry, down-to-earth observational humour.

A finalist in both the Jimmy Carr Comedy Idol competition, and Jongleurs Last Laugh Comedy search, and a semi-finalist in the BBC New talent Awards 2005 - Barry has taken the national circuit by storm, with his mix of surprisingly dark and irrepressibly cheeky material.

"Razor sharp humour" - Metro

Fascinated by stand-up from an early age, Barry took to the stage at the tender age of 21, and is now a firm audience favourite at clubs such as The Stand, The Comedy Store, XS Mullarkeys, Jongleurs and Raw hide - with material covering everything from failed culture bids to an obsession with ghosthunting.He recently returned form Luxembourg, where he performed a solo show - and became the first ever comedian to perform on Luxembourg TV.

With a passion for both writing and presenting, Barry will focus further on these ambitions during 2006, whilst continuing to storm the circuit both nationally and abroad, with his own unique and captivating brand of comedy.
