2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Jack Barry: High Treason
This show is about why we should legalise all the drugs. It's serious business, so has a serious name. But it's also a pun, so you know you'll have fun. As seen/heard on Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV2 and BBC Radio 4. **** (List). 'The hardest I have laughed at the Fringe so far' ***** (EdFringeReview.com). 'A degree of skill that belies his youth' (Fest). 'Ridiculously funny and genuinely impressive' **** (theedinburghreporter.co.uk).

Chortle, 13th August 2017Coming of Age
There's a certain child like spirit that drives the imagination and creativity of comedians, who are more curious than most to find the silliness in everyday objects and behaviours to embellish them out on a stage to near perfect strangers, that makes one think are these people grown up in comparison to their audiences?

Shaun Kitchener, The Daily Express, 23rd July 2017#EdFringe17: Jack Barry performs High Treason
High Treason focuses on the sticky topic of drug legalisation. As a straight, white, middle class male, Jack felt under qualified to champion the struggles of oppressed minorities with his comedy. But, as a drug user, still harassed and demonised by the government, he has an issue.
