What the Critics Say

"Carl Barron of Australia was the highlight of the evening, with wry observations and hysterical bits on sneezing, burping, farting and just plain stuff"......
The Gazette Montreal

".... They (the audience) were in a state of uncontrollable joy"
The Age Melbourne

" Barron's show is one asthmatic laugh after the other. It's a marvel the packed audiences had pause for breath - the lady next to me almost required medical assistance"
Inpress, Melbourne

"The skinny balding master of observational humour...
The Sun Herald Sydney

"...but the one who stole the show was Carl Barron"...
The Scotsman Edinburgh

But the star of the evening is Carl Barron, who has the audience in fits with his resonating observations of common experiences. With a dead-pan expression breaking out into gleaming wickedness, this skinny Gandhi-like comedian turns the tables on the mundane, tackling everything from our reactions to stupid questions through to turds with footprints...
The Scotsman

"A gifted physical comic and monologist"
The LA Times

" Barron is small and shy, his jokes clean and precise. The audience loves him..."
Harper Magazine

"Audiences are rioting for a glimpse of his shy and sharp routine"
Inpress, Melbourne

***** "Carl Barron is an awesome standup comedian.... I had tears in my eyes...""
The Age, Melbourne

"Carl Barron is a man who articulates the small but precious hopes of a nation"
Herald Sun

"Get ready to giggle yourself silly"
Melbourne Weekly

"Carl Barron is small, quiet and a comedy surprise package."
Entertainment Live

"Watching Barron perform is like watching mime with punch lines"
The Drum Sydney

"...an Aussie larrikin persona that has been polished to shine brighter than an opal"
NZ Herald

"His wry, acute insights are so warmly received because people are instantly aware of what he is talking about"
Dominion Post
