A brand new stand-up show from Angela Barnes, star of Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo.  
Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.
 This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic, but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German and loads of jokes. 
Award winning comedian Angela’s last tour Hot Mess received critical acclaim and was filmed as a special available on ITVX. Angela has also appeared on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC’s House of Games and is a regular guest on Radio 4's The News Quiz. Angela also co-hosts the popular comedy history podcast We Are History. 
“She's just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic” 
- The Guardian
