Tom Durham, Herts and Essex Observer, 8th July 2015More details
In January 2015, topical comedian Alistair Barrie's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, which gave him some perspective on what really constitutes bad news.
No More Stage Three covers the downs and occasional ups of watching your partner go through treatment for a life-threatening disease, from shared hair loss to chemo farts, shopping for breasts and the hilarious subject of statutory sick pay.
Come and watch another comedian make it all about himself. (His wife wrote that bit.)
Alistair Barrie is one of the most widely travelled and respected stand ups on the international comedy circuit.

His 2012 Edinburgh show Urban Fogey was runner up in the Amused Moose Award for best show at the Fringe and Bruce Dessau recently called him "one of the comedy circuit's smartest, most versatile stand-ups."
