James Barr
Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex To My Mum)
Domestic abuse isn’t funny, but this show is. Trailblazing gay UK
comedian James Barr makes his Melbourne debut with a bold,
"genre-defying" (ArtsHub) hour of stand-up. 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.
