Angela Barnes: Hot Mess

Angela Barnes has good intentions but trying to live your best life, as it turns out, is really bloody hard. Stand-up, stories and jokes from one of the UK's finest comedians.

Angela Barnes swapped a career in health and social care for stand-up in 2010 and hasn't looked back. Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award, and has now gone on to UK tours and starring as a regular on BBC's Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz - including a recent stint as the host - and she has also hosted BBC Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack. Besides this, Angela co-hosts the popular podcast We Are History with John O'Farrell.
