About

The Coastal Comedy Show sponsored by DJS Limited at The Arts by the Sea Festival presents the stupendous Angela Barnes! 
As seen on:
Mock the Week (BBC2)
Live At The Apollo (BBC)
Host of Newsjack (BBC Radio 4) and many more!

Angela won the BBC Radio 2's New Comedy Award in 2011, and has continued to be a regular on the stand-up circuit, playing even bigger venues. She has also appeared on: Russell Howard's Good News, Russell Kane’s Whistlestop Tour for Radio 2, Stand up for the Week, written for Radio 4’s The News Quiz, played on Eddie Izzard’s Laughs in the Park on BBC Two, and developed her own series with BBC Radio Comedy.

“Brilliantly Funny” Sarah Millican “She’s just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic” The Guardian

 “A beautifully paced performance that was aided by the consistent quality of her jokes, many of which showed a great skill with self-deprecation.”  Chortle

“Barnes mixes warm autobiographical material with plenty of strong jokes” The Guardian

 “Angela Barnes is the best mainstream female comedian I’ve seen since Sarah Millican... I can't be any clearer than that can I?” Evening Standard

Opening the show is the hilarious Jim Campbell who has been busy with a chart-topping podcast, an acclaimed book and his personal life exploding. Everyone was right though; it’s good for material. 

 “Charmingly fresh... an hour in Campbell's company will leave you entertained and enlightened” The List ****

“A superb example of how to craft a technically accomplished, winningly performed piece of comedy” Fest ****

Also performing for your laughing pleasure is Bath Comedy Festival New Act 2017 winner Sunjai Arif. Sunjai quickly wins over audiences with his confidence and warm personality. He is an engaging comedy story teller and covers tales about his family, speeding tickets and extremist rodents. Sunjai is a solid comedy act, oozes charm and will leave you grinning ear to ear.

The night is hosted by local comic Adrienne Coles and Coastal Comedy recently became a finalist for the Best Night Out award as part of the Bournemouth and Poole Tourism Awards 2018. This show is not to be missed.
